Question

RITU WANTS TO DIVIDE 300 RUPEES BETWEEN HIS TWO OF HIS SONS AMIT AND NITHIN IN THE RATIO OF THEIR AGES. IF THE AGES OF AMIT IS 12 YEARS OLD AND NITHIN IS 8 YEARS OLD. FIND THE SHARE OF EACH.

Answer 1

Answer:

8+12=20

300/20=15

15×8=120

15×12=180

Answer 2

Therefore Amit got =Rs.(3×60)=Rs.180

Nithin got =Rs.(2×60)=Rs. 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ritu wants to divide Rs. 300 between two sons in the ration of their  ages.

Amit's age is 12 years and Nithin's age is 8 years.

Therefore the ratio of ages

=12:8

=3:2

Let Amit and Nithin got 3x and 2x respectively.

According to the problem,

3x+2x=300

⇒5x=300

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{300}{5}$

⇒x = 60

Therefore Amit got =Rs.(3×60)=Rs.180

Nithin got =Rs.(2×60)=Rs. 120
