Tiplem : Embhah = 5 : 3
Define x:
Let x be the constant ratio
Tiplem : Embhah = 5x : 3x
Form equation and solve for x:
5x = 1250
x = 1250 ÷ 5 = Rs 250
Find the total amount:
5x + 3x = 8x
8x = 8 (250) = Rs 2000
Answer: The total amount is Rs 2000

Given
Ratio = 5 : 3
Tiplem received = Rs 1250
let the ratio = 5x : 3x
5x = 1250
X = 1250/5
X = 250
Finding the total amount
Tiplem received 5x = 5(250) = 1250
Embhah received 3x = 3(250) = 750
Total amount = 1250 + 750 = 2000
Ratio = 5 : 3
Tiplem received = Rs 1250
let the ratio = 5x : 3x
5x = 1250
X = 1250/5
X = 250
Finding the total amount
Tiplem received 5x = 5(250) = 1250
Embhah received 3x = 3(250) = 750
Total amount = 1250 + 750 = 2000
