Question

Ramesh is 45 years old, his brother Sachin is 40 and Amit is 35. Their grand mother decided

to distribute 72000 as gifts among the three on reaching her 90th birthday. She gave them this

money in proportion to their ages. How much did each of them get?​

Answer 1

Answer:

money obtained by Ramesh, Sachin and Amit are Rs 27000, Rs 24000 and Rs 21000 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of ages of Ramesh, Sachin and Amit  are

45:40:35 = 9:8:7

so, 72000 will be distributed in the ratio of 9:8:7

⇒24 units = 72000=  

⇒1 unit = 3000

so, money obtained by Ramesh, Sachin and Amit are 9*3000, 8*3000 and 7*3000 respectively

therefore  money obtained by Ramesh, Sachin and Amit are Rs 27000, Rs 24000 and Rs 21000 respectively

Answer 2

Ramesh got Rs. 27000, Sachin got Rs. 24000, Amit got Rs. 21000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ages of Ramesh Sachin and Amit are 45, 40 and 35

The ratio of their ages will be

$45:40:35$

$9:8:7$

Sum of the ratios = $9+8+7=24$

Total amount = Rs. 72000

Therefore,

Amount Ramesh got $=72000\times\frac{9}{24}$

           $=3000\times 9$

            $=27000$ Rs.

Amount Sachin got $=72000\times\frac{8}{24}$

           $=3000\times 8$

            $=24000$ Rs.

Amount Amit got $=72000\times\frac{7}{24}$

           $=3000\times 7$

            $=21000$ Rs.

Hope this helps.
