Question

mother wants to divide 360 rupees between her daughter Shreya and Bhumi in the ratio of their ages if the age of Shreya is 15 years and Bhumi is 12 years find out how much amount will each other get​

Answer 1

Given

Total amount = Rs 360

Age of Shreya = 15 years

Age of Bhumi = 12 years

To find

Amount of rupees Shreya and bhumi gets

Solution

Age of Shreya = 15 years

Age of Bhumi = 12 years

Ratio of age of Shreya and Bhumi = 15:12 = 5:4

Ratio in which amount is divided = Ratio of age of Shreya and Bhumi

Ratio in which amount is divided = 5:4

total amount = 360

let amount Shreya get = 5x

amount Bhumi get = 4x

5x + 4x = 360

9x = 360

x = 40

amount shreya gets = 5x = 5*40 = 200

amount bhumi gets = 4x = 4*40= 160
