Divide 60 kg in the ratio of 18 : 7.

The correct answer is Option (4) → 43.2 kg, 16.8 kg

To divide a quantity in the ratio 18 : 7, it is split into \(18+7=25\) equal parts; the first share takes 18 of these parts and the second share the other 7. So the size of one part is found first, and each share is that size times its number of parts.

• Size of one part: \(\frac{60}{25}=2.4\) kg

• First share, 18 parts: \(18\times2.4=43.2\) kg

• Second share, 7 parts: \(7\times2.4=16.8\) kg
