Question

A certain amount has been divided into two parts in the ratio 2:7 . If the second part is Rs. 210 . Total amount is Rs. ___

Answer 1

Given : 2 : 7

Let the parts of amount divided be 2x and 7x

Second part = 210 => 7x = 210

=> x= $\frac{210}{7}$

=> x= 30

Total amount = 2x + 7x = 9 x = $9\times 30$

Total amount = 270
