Answer 2

357 rupees gets divided in the ratio of 5:2 that means 357 is divided into 7 parts and 5 parts are given to Aman and 2 parts are given to Divakar.

Let's suppose if the money was 63 rupees and it's divided into seven equal parts as follows:

63 = 9+9+9+9+9+9+9

And now these are 7 parts of 63, give 5 parts to Aman i.e 9+9+9+9+9 and other 2 parts to Divakar i.e 9+9.

Now, i hope you understand what it means by ratio.

Now come to the question, divide 357 into 7 parts

$\frac{357}{7} = 51$

357= 51+51+51+51+51+51+51

Give 5 parts to Aman. Those are 51+51+51+51+51=255 rupees

And other two left parts to Divakar. Those are 51+51= 102 rupees.

And hence we completed the distribution of 357 rupees.

Another method:

Rupees given to Aman = $\frac{5}{7} \times 357 = 255$

Rupees given to Divakar=$\frac{2}{7} \times 357 = 102$
