Question

Pranshu wants to divide Rs$28$ between his sons Shantanu and Prayas in the ratio of their ages.If Shantanu is $8$ years old and Prayas is $6$ years old, Find how much will each get?

Answer 1

Ratio of ages$=\frac{8}{6}=\frac{4}{3}$
Therefore, Pranshu wants to divide Rs.$28$ in a ratio of $4:3$.
Terms of $4:3$ are $4$ and $3$
Sum of these terms$=4+3=7$
Shantanu will get $\frac{4}{7}$ of the total money and Prayas will get $\frac{3}{7}$ of it.
Amount that Shantanu will get$=\frac{4}{7}\times 28=16$
Amount that Prayas will get$=\frac{3}{7}\times 28=12$
Therefore, Shantanu and Prayas will get Rs. $16$ and Rs. $12$ respectively.
