Question

Kumaran has ₹ 600 and wants to divide it between Vimala and Yazhini in the ratio 2 : 3, who will get more and how much?

Answer 1

Divide the whole money into 2 + 3 = 5 equal parts then, 

Vimala gets 2 parts out of 5 parts and Yazhini gets 3 parts out of 5 parts.

Amount Vimala gets = 600×2/5 = ₹ 240

Amount Yazhini gets = 600×3/5 = ₹ 360

Vimala received ₹ 240 and Yazhini gets ₹ 360, which is ₹ 120 more than that of Vimala.
