Answer 2

Given:

The quantity of rice sold by two shopkeepers is in the ratio of 3: 5. If the second shopkeeper sold 25 kg of rice, the quantity of rice sold by the first shopkeeper is?

To find:

The quantity of rice sold by the first shopkeeper is?

Solution:

Let's say,

"3x" → the quantity of rice sold by the 1st shopkeeper

"5x" → the quantity of rice sold by the 2nd shopkeeper

But it is given that the second shopkeeper sold 25 kg of rice, so we can form the equation as,

$5x = 25$

$\implies \bold{x = 5}$

Therefore,

The quantity of rice sold by the 1st shopkeeper is,

= 3x

= 3 × 5

= 15 kg

Thus, the quantity of rice sold by the first shopkeeper is → 15 kg.
