Question

Q-8 A father wants to divide Rs.36,000 between his two daughters in the ratio of their ages. If
Kiran is 15 years old and Aditi is 12 years old, find how much each one of them will get.​

Answer 1

Answer:

ratio of ages of Kiran & Aditi = 15 : 12 or 5 : 4

A.T.Q

5x + 4x = 3600

9x = 3600

x = 3600 ÷ 9

x = 400

Kiran =5x = 5×400

= 2000

Aditi =4x = 4×400

= 1600

Answer 2

Given :

• A Father wants to divide Rs.36,000 between his two daughters in the ratio of their ages.
• Kiran is 15 years old and Aditi is 12 years old.

To Find :

• how much each one of them will get.

Solution :

⟶ Age of Kiran = 15 years

⟶ Age of Aditi = 12 years

Ratio of their ages :

⟶ 15/12 = 5/4 [cut both on table of 3]

⟶ So, ratio of their ages is 5/4

⟶ Amount of Kiran = 5x

⟶ Amount of Aditi = 4x

⠀⠀

According to the Question :

⟹ Ratio of Ages = Total Money

⟹ 5x + 4x = 36000

⟹ 9x = 36000

⟹ x = 36000 / 9

⟹ x = 4000

Therefore :

• Kiran's amount = 5x = 5 × 4000 = Rs 20000
• Aditi's amount = 4x = 4 × 4000 = Rs 16000
