Question 56

A sum is divided between two persons in the ratio 3 : 2. If one person got ₹12 less than the other person, then what is the sum?

Solution

A sum is divided between two persons in the ratio 3 : 2.

Let's assume the share of two persons is 3y and 2y.

If one person got ₹12 less than the other person.

3y-12 = 2y

3y-2y = 12

y = 12

Sum = 3y+2y

= 5y

= $$5\times12$$

= ₹60
