Answer 2

Given:

Rs.800 were divided between Mahesh and Shyam in the ratio of 3:5.

To find:

We have to find the amount Shyam get more than Mahesh.

Solution:

Let Mahesh get 3x rupees and Shyam gets 5x rupees.

The total amount is 3x+5x=8x.

So, we can write-

$8x = 800 \\ x = 100$

Thus Mahesh gets 3×100=300 and Shyam gets 5×100=500 rupees.

Thus Shyam gets 500-300=200 more than Mahesh.

Shyam gets 200 more than Mahesh.
