Question

Divide rupees RS 5600 between Neeraj and Arjun in the ratio of 3 into 5

Answer 1

let x be common multiple

by given condition,

3x+5x=5600

8x=5600

x=5600÷8

x=700

Neeraj will get Rs.3x=3×700=2100

Arjun will get Rs. 5x=5×700=3500

Answer 2

Neeraj will get Rs. 2100 and Arjun will get Rs. 3500

Given : Total money is Rs. 5600. Ratio of divisions of Neeraj and Arjun is 3:5

To find : Dividing the money between Neeraj and Arjun according to the said ratio.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the divisions of Neeraj and Arjun)

Let, Neeraj gets = Rs. 3x

And, Arjun gets = Rs. 5x

(Obtained from the ratio 3:5)

According to the data mentioned in the question,

3x+5x = 5600

8x = 5600

x = 700

So, Neeraj gets = Rs. 3x = Rs. (3×700) = Rs. 2100

And, Arjun gets = Rs. 5x = Rs. (5×700) = Rs. 3500

(These will be considered as the final results.)

Hence, Neeraj will get Rs. 2100 and Arjun will get Rs. 3500
