Question

Pooja and Poorna divide some money in the ratio of 3:5. If pooja's share is Rs.321, find Poornas share

Answer 1

GIVEN :
Ratio of Pooja and Poonam shares of money = 3:5
Share of Pooja = Rs 321

TO FIND :
Poonam's share = ?

SOLUTION :

According to their ratios :
Let poonam's share be ' 5x'
and pooja's be '3x'.

But , Pooja's share is already given.
so, 3x = 321
x = 321/3
x = 107

So , Poonam's share is
5x
5 * 107
535 Rs

Answer 2

We can recall that:

Given:

Ratio of Pooja and Poonam shares of money $=3:5$

Share of Pooja $=Rs 321$

Solution:

According to their ratios:

Let Poonam's share be $'5x'$

and Pooja's be $'3x'.$

but according to the question

$3x=321$

$x=\frac{321}{3}$

$x=107$

Now

Poonam's share is $=5x$

$=5\times107$

$=535Rs$
