Question

If Rs.2600 are divided between Rohan and Seema in the proportion 8:5, the share of each is ----- and ----- respectively. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rohan's share = 8x = 8×200 = Rs.1600

Seema's share  = 5x = 5×200 = Rs.1000

Step-by-step explanation:

amount to be divided = Rs.2600

Rohan's share : Seema's share

8 : 5

⇒ 8x + 5x = 2600

⇒ 13x = 2600

⇒ x = 2600 ÷ 13 = 200

⇒ x = Rs.200

Rohan's share = 8x = 8×200 = Rs.1600

Seema's share  = 5x = 5×200 = Rs.1000
