Question

A bag of 25 marbles is shared between Rahul and Kiran in the ratio 2 : 3
(i) How many marbles does Kiran receive?
(ii) How many marbles does Rahul receive?

Answer 1

Total marbles = 25

Ratio between Rahul and Kiran = 2 : 3

Total part in which marble is divided = 2 + 3 = 5 parts

Thus, 5 part = 25

1 part = 25 $÷$ 5 = 5 marble

(i) Kiran receive = 3 part = 3 $\times$ 5 = 15 marble

(ii) Rahul receive = 2 part = 2 $\times$ 5 = 10 marble
