Question

Divide $rs880$ between Rajan and Kamal in the ratio $\frac{1}{5}:\frac{1}{6}$.

Answer 1

Let the money distributed to Kamal and Rajan be $\frac{1}{5}x$ and $\frac{1}{6}x$ respectively

According to the question

$\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{1}{6}x=880$

$\frac{6x+5x}{30}=880$

$\frac{11x}{30}=880$

$x=\frac{880\times 30}{11}$

$x=2400$

$\frac{1}{5}x=\frac{2400}{5}=480$

$\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{2400}{6}=400$

So,the money distributed to Kamal is Rs $480$ and to Rajan is Rs $400$.
