Question

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

• A. 270
• B. 370
• C. 60
• D. 120

Answer 1

The correct option is A

270

Given : Ratio in which the amount has been divided = 2: 7

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

Given: Second part = 210

$\Rightarrow$ 7x = 210

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

$\Rightarrow$ x= 30

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

Total amount = ₹ 270
