Question

Divide Rs.300 between A and B in the ratio2:3

Answer 1

The value of 300 is divided into 120 and 180 in the ratio of 2:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The total value is 300.
• This total of 300 should be divide in the ratio of 2:3.

Let us assume that the common factor be x in the ratio.

• The value of the part A is 2x.
• The value of the part B is 3x.

It is known that, 2x + 3x = 300

⇒ 5x = 300

⇒ x = 300/5

⇒ x =60.

To find the values of A and B :

A= 2x

⇒ 2(60)

⇒ 120

B= 3x

⇒ 3(60)

⇒ 180

The value of 300 is divided into 120 and 180 in the ratio of 2:3.
