Question

If Rs60 is divided between X and Y in the ratio 1 : 2 ,what will be the share of X

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x shares be 1k

So, y shares = 2k

A/Q ,

x+y = 60

k+2k = 60

3k = 60

k= 20

So, x= 1k = 1×20 = 20

y= 2k = 2×20 = 40.

Answer 2

Answer:

X share will be Rs.20 and Y share will be Rs.40 respectively.

Explanation:

Let the ratio's be 1x and 2x.

Amount to be divided is Rs.60.

1x + 2x = 60

3x = 60

∴ x = 20

Shares:

• x = Rs.20 [X]
• 2x = Rs.40 [Y]

∴ X share will be Rs.20 and Y share will be Rs.40 respectively.
