Answer 1

Rs 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

${\underline{{\text{Given}}}}$

A certain sum of money was divided

between A, B and C in the ratio 5:6:9.

A received Rs. 450

${\underline{{\text{To Find:}}}}$

Total Sum of money

${\underline{{\text{Solution:}}}}$

Let, A get 5x money. [where x is constant]

According to question,

5x = 450

x = 90

So, Total Sum(5x+6x+9x) = Rs 20x

= Rs 20×90

= Rs 1800

Hence, The required sum of money is Rs 1800.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

A certain sum of money was divided between A, B and C in the ratio 5:6:9 ans A received Rs. 450.

To Find:

We need to find the total sum.

Solution:

Let the sum be Rs x.

Given ratio is 5 : 6 : 9

Which means that A got 5x, B got 6x and C got 9x.

According to question,

5x = 450

=> x = 450/5

=> x = 90

Now, the total sum

= (5×90) + (6×90) + (9×90)

= 450 + 540 + 810

= 990 + 810

= 1800

Hence the required sum is 1800.
