Solution

Total amount won by Geeta and Laxmi = Rs 1050

They shared the amount in the ratio = 3 : 4

The amount was shared in total = 3 + 4 = 7 part

Thus 7 part = Rs 1050

1 part = Rs 1050 $\div$ 7 = Rs 150

Geeta receive = 3 part = 3 $\times$ 150 = Rs 450

Laxmi receive = 4 part = 4 $\times$ 150 = Rs 600
