Question

Divide $Rs.1575$ between Kamal and Madhu in the ratio $7:2$.

Answer 1

We have to divide $Rs.1575$ between Kamal and Madhu in the ratio $7:2$.

Let ratios be written as $7x$ and $2x$

$\Rightarrow 7x+2x=1575$

$\Rightarrow 9x=1575$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1575}{9}$

$\Rightarrow x=175$

Substitute the value of $x$.

$\Rightarrow 7x=7\times Rs.175=Rs.1225$

$\Rightarrow 2x=2\times Rs.175=Rs.350$

Kamal will get $Rs.1225$ where as Madhu will get. $Rs.350$.
