Question

If a sum of rs.3540 is divided in three parts in a ratio of 2:6:7 , then the largest part will be:

Answer 1

The answer is given below :

The ratio of the numbers is 2 : 6 : 7

Let, the common multiple be x

Then the numebers are 2x, 6x and 7x

Given,

sum of the numbers = 3540

=> 2x + 6x + 7x = 3540

=> 15x = 3540

=> x = 236

So, the required numbers are

2×236, 6×236 and 7×236

i.e., 472, 1416 and 1652

So, the largest part is 1652.

Thank you for your question.

Answer 2

Hii friend,

Let the ratio be 2X , 6X, and 7X.

Sum of the ratio = 3540

Therefore,

2X+6X+7X = 3540

15X = 3540

X = 3540/15

X = 236

Therefore,


2X= 2 × 236 = 472

6X = 6×236 = 1416

7X = 7 × 236 = 1652

Therefore,

The largest part = 1652
