Question

Rs. 7200 is divided between Raju and Sonu in the ratio of 3 : 5. How

many rupees did Raju get with method​

Answer 1

Answer:

Raju got 2700 rupees whereas Sonu got 4500 rupees

Answer 2

Answer:

Raju gets Rs. 2700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be given to Raju and y be given to Sonu,

by question,

$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{5}$

or 5x -3y = 0        Eq 1

Also, x + y = 7200 (from the question)       Eq 2

Eq 1 - 5 * Eq2 (both LHS and RHS), we get

(5x - 3y) - 5*(x -y) = 0 - 7200*5

-8y = -36000

or y = 4500

therefore, x = 7200-4500 = 2700
