A father wants to divide ₹ 3600 among his sons in the ratio of their ages. Their ages are 12 years and 15 years. Find their respective share
₹1,600 and ₹2,000
The ratio of their age is 12:15=4:5.
So, the money has to be divided in this ratio.
Let the shares be 4x and 5x respectively.
Now, 4x+5x=9x,
9x=3600,
x=400
Hence their respective share will be :
400(4)=₹1600
400(5)=₹2000
