Question :

The weight of Divya and Himanshu are in the ratio 5:7 . If Himanshu weighs 28 kg. find the weight of Divya. 

Answer :

The weight of Divya is 20 kg.

Given,

The height of Divya and Himanshu are in the ratio 5 : 7

Himanshu weighs = 28 kg

Let the weight of Divya be x.

According to question,

⇒ 7 × x = 28 × 5

⇒ 7x = 140

⇒ x = 140/7

⇒ x = 20 kg

Answer 2

Let weight of divya n himanshu be 5x and 7x.
ATQ
weight of himanshu = 28 kg
= 7x = 28
