Question

20 chocolates are divided in the ratio 2 : 3 between A and B. Match the following based on this.

• A. 4
• B. 12
• C. 8
• D. 96

Answer 1

Sum of terms of the ratio = 2 + 3 = 5

$\therefore$ Value of 5 parts = 20
$\Rightarrow$ Value of 1 part = $\frac{20}{5}=4$ chocolates.
Since A gets 2 parts,
A has $2\times 4=8$ chocolates.
Since B gets 3 parts,
B has $3\times 4=12$ chocolates.
$\therefore$ B - A = 12 - 8 = 4 and
AB $=8\times 12=96$
