Question

divide rupees 575 between Kamal and Madhu in the ratio 7 ratio 2

Answer 1

To divide rupees 1575 in the ratio 7:2

Let Kamal's share be 7x and Madhu's share be 2x.

7x + 2x = 1575

9x = 1575

x = 1575/9

x = 175

Therefore, Kamal's share is 7x = 7*175 = 1225 and Madhu's share is 2x = 2*175 = 350

Hope it helps :)
