Question

If $1632$ Rs. is distributed among two people in the ratio $5:3$. How much each will get.

Answer 1

Rs. $1632$ is distributed among two people in the ratio $5:3$

Let one person gets Rs. $5x$

and other person gets Rs. $3x$

Now,

$5x+3x=1632$

$8x=1632$

$x=\frac{1632}{8}$

$x=204$

So, one person gets the amount $=5x=5\left(204\right)=1020$ Rs.

and other person gets the amount $=3x=3\left(204\right)=612$ Rs.
