Question

$₹150$ is divided between A and B in the ratio $2:1$. How much does each get?

Answer 1

Step 1: Find the sum of terms of the ratio

Ratio between A and B = $2:1$

Sum of the terms of the ratio= $2+1=3$

Step 2: Find the amount A and B get

A gets = $\frac{2}{3}\times ₹150=2\times 50=₹100$

B gets = $\frac{1}{3}\times ₹150=1\times 50=₹50$

Hence, A gets $₹100$ and B gets $₹50$.
