Answer 1

The sum of their ratios is
$20x + 25x = 45x$
Amount that ravi will get
$25 x\div 45x \times 360$

Answer 2

Ravi and Suraj will get 200 and 160 receptively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother wants to divide Rs 360 among her sons ravi and suraj in the ratio of their age.

It is given that Ravi is 25 year old and suraj is 20 years. So, ratio of their age is

$\dfrac{Ravi}{Suraj}=\dfrac{25}{20}=\dfrac{5}{4}=5:4$

The ratio of their age is 5:4.

Let ravi and suraj will get 5x and 4x receptively.

$5x+4x=360$

$9x=360$

Divide both sides by 9.

$x=40$

The value of x is 40.

$Ravi=5x=5(40)=200$

$suraj=4x=4(40)=160$

Therefore, ravi and suraj will get 200 and 160 receptively.
