Answer 2

Given:

Two-third of Ria's money is equal to one-fifth of Shoba's money.

To find:

The ratio between the shares of money of both Ria and Shoba.

Solution:

Let the Ria has x amount of money and Shoba has y amount of money.

So, according to the question,

Two-third of Ria's money = One-fifth of Shoba's money.

So,

$\frac{2}{3} \times x = \frac{1}{5} \times y$

$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{10}$

Hence, the ratio of shares of money of Ria and Shobha is 3:10.

So, the correct answer is 3:10.
