Question

Dividing sumof rs.832 betweena and b ratio 1/3:1/5 their shares are?

Answer 1

Answer:

a=520,b=312

Step-by-step explanation:

a:b=1/3:1/5

a/b=1/3/ 1/5

a/b=5/3  (1/3/ 1/5 can be reverse and 1 will be cancelled)

a:b=5:3

let a's share= 5x and b's share=3x

According to the qsⁿ

5x+3x=832

8x=832

5x=832/8×5=520

3x=832/8×3=312

∴ a's share=520,b's share=312

Answer 2

Answer:

520 and 312

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have given in the question there is a sum of 832 Rs between a and b it is divided by the ratio 1/3:1/5, Therefore we need to find the shares of a and b. As we have given $a:b=\dfrac{1}{3}:\dfrac{1}{5}$

i.e.$\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{5}{3}$

Let a's share be 5x in the sum and b's share be 3x in the sum

Therefore we have given a total share of 832 Rs i.e.$5x+3x=832$

$8x=832$

$x=104$

As we have x now we can easily found the value of a's share and b's share

Therefore a's share =$5\times104=520$

b's share=$3\times104=312$
