Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain sum of money is divided between P and Q in the ratio

a certain sum of money is divided between p and q in the ratio 7/2:11/2 if p gets 180 leaa than q then q's share

Answer 2

Answer:

Ratio=3.5:5.5

let the P's share be 3.5X

let the Q's share be 5.5X

NOW ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION

P gets 180 less than Q

so P's share=Q's share-180

3.5X=5.5X-180

3.5X-5.5X=-180

-2X=-180

so x=90

so Q's share is 5.5X = 90*5.5

=495

Q's share =495
