Answer 2

SolutioN :-

Here, A and B get sweets in the ratio of 1:3. This means, if all the sweets are divided in 1+3=4 parts,

Then,

A gets = 1 part out of the 4 equal parts made

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \large \bf \frac{1}{4} \: of \: the \: total \:no. \: of \: sweets$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \large \bf \: = \frac{1}{4} \times 12 \: sweets$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \large \bf \: = 3 \: sweets$

And,

B gets = 3 parts of the 4 equal parts made

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \large \bf \: = \frac{3}{4} \: of \: the \: total \: no. \: of \: sweets$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \large \bf \: = \frac{3}{4} \times 12 \: sweets$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \large \bf \: =9\:sweets$
