Question

Heights of Anshul and Dhruv are 1.04 m and 78 m respectively. Divide 35 sweets between them in the the ratio of their heights.

Answer 1

Solution :-

There is a mistake in this question. The height of Dhruv must be 78 cm instead of 78 m. It is wrongly written as 78 m.

Dividing 35 sweets between Anshul and Dhruv according to the ratios of their heights.

Respective heights of Anshul and Dhruv = 1.04 m : 78 cm

First we will convert meter into centimeter.

1.04 = 1.04*100
= 104 cm

    Anshul                    Dhruv

   104 cm                   78 cm

Taking H.C.F. of 104 and 78, and then simplifying it, we get.

104 = 2*2*2*13

78 = 2*3*13

H.C.F. of 104 and 78 is 13*2 = 26

⇒ (104/26) : (78/26)

⇒     4   :    3

Now, Sum of the two ratios = 4 + 3 = 7

Anshul's share = (4*35)/7

= 140/7

Anshul's share = 20 sweets

Dhruv's share = (3*35)/7

= 105/7

Dhruv's share = 15 sweets

Hence, Anshul will get 20 sweets and Dhruv will get 15 sweets.

Answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Height of Anshul = 1.04 m

To convert it into cm we will multiply it with 10= 1.04*10=104 cm

Height of Dhruv = 78 cm

Ratio of their height= 104:78

therefore 104/78 = 4/3 = 4:3

Total no. of sweets = 35

part of Anshul = 4/4+3*35 = 4/7*35 = 20 sweets.

part of Dhruv= 3/4+3*35 = 3/7*35 = 15 sweets

So, Anshul has 20 and Dhruv has 15 sweets.
