#

First of all convert the given ratio into its simple form

Since L.C.M of denominators 2 and 4 is 4

$\therefore$ $\frac{1}{2}$ : $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ 4 : $\frac{1}{4}$ $\times$ 4 = 2 : 1

And 2 +1 = 3

Hence Raj's share = $\frac{2}{3}$ $\times$ 360

= ₹ 240

Ravi's share = $\frac{1}{3}$ $\times$ 360

= ₹ 120
