Answer 1

Given:

A and B got the share in the ratio 5 : 4

Total share =Rs. 1800

Share of A =?

Solution:

Let, the share of A be 5x and that of B be 4x.

Then,

According to question,

5x + 4x = 1800

or, 9x = 1800

x = 1800/9

x = Rs.200

Share of A = 5x= 5 × 200 =Rs.1000

Therefore, the share of A is Rs.1000 and that of B is Rs.800.  

Answer 2

Answer: Rs.1000

Step-by-step explanation:

• To find the share of A in 1800 if it is divided between A and B in the ratio 5:4.
• Sum of ratio=5+4

                             =9

• Share of A=$\frac{5}{9}*1800$

                          =5*200

                          = Rs.1000

• Hence, the share of A is Rs.1000.
