Question

Divide $20$ pens between Reenu and Sonu in the ratio of$3:2$ .

Answer 1

Divide given number of pens between Reenu and Sonu

The ratio of dividing pens between Reenu and Sonu $=3:2$

Now,

Let the total number of pens be $(3+2)x=5x$

Also, given total number of pens$=20$

So $\begin{array}{rcl}5x& =& 20\\ x& =& \frac{20}{5}\\ x& =& 4\end{array}$

The total number of pens with Reenu $=3x$

$3\times 4=12$

The total number of pens with Sonu $=2x$

$2\times 4=8$

Therefore, Reenu gets $12$ pens and Sonu gets $8$ pens.
