Question

divide rs120 in the ratio 1:2 between Riya and siya
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let ' a ' be the ratio of their money

So, Riya's share is 1 × a = 1a

and Siya's share is 2 × a = 2a

1a + 2a = ₹120

3a = ₹120

(Transversing 3 to RHS)

a = ₹120/3

a = 40

Riya's share = 1 × a = 1 × 40 = ₹40

Siya's share = 2 × a = 2 × 40 = ₹80

Checking

1a + 2a = ₹120

₹40 + ₹80 = ₹120

₹120 = ₹120

So, the answer is correct
