Question

Rs 120 is to be divided between Hari and Gopi in the ratio 5 : 3. How much does each get ?

Answer 1

Given
Total amount = Rs $120$
Amount divided between Hari and Gopi in the ratio $=5:3$
Hence,
The sum of ratio is as follows:
Sum of ratio $=5+3$
$=8$
Hence, Hari’s and Gopi’s share will be as follows:
Hari’s share $=(120\times 5)/8$
= Rs $75$
Gopi’s share $=(120\times 3)/8$
= Rs $45$
Therefore, Hari get Rs $75$ and Gopi get Rs $45$
