Question

A certain amount was divided between Sneha and Sumit in the ratio $3:2$. If Sumit's share was Rs. $3200$, then the total amount is __________?

• A. Rs. $6000$
• B. Rs. $8000$
• C. Rs. $9000$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Rs. $8000$

Let Sneha's share $=$ Rs. $3x$
and Sumit's share $=$ Rs. $2x$
Given that, Sumit's share $=$ Rs. $3200$
$\Rightarrow 2x=3200\Rightarrow x=\frac{3200}{2}=1600$
$\therefore$ Sneha's share $=Rs.(3\times 1600)=Rs.4800$
$\therefore$ Total amount $=Rs.(4800+3200)=Rs.8000$.
