Question

a:b= 2:3 , what is the share of "a" if we divide 20 in the ratio 2:3 ?

• A. 4
• B. 8
• C. 7
• D. 9

Answer 1

The correct option is B

8

sum of the ratio terms = 2+3= 5

a's share = $\frac{"a"value}{sumoftheratioterms}\times 20$

$\Rightarrow$ a's share =$\frac{2}{5}\times 20$

$\Rightarrow$ a's share = 8
