Rs. 180 are to be divided among 66 persons (men & women). The ratio of the total amount of money received by men and women is 5 : 4. But the ratio of the money received by each man and woman is 3 : 2. Find the amount received by each man. |
Rs. \(4\frac{1}{2}\) Rs. \(5\frac{1}{2}\) Rs. \(3\frac{1}{3}\) Rs. \(5\frac{1}{3}\) |
Rs. \(3\frac{1}{3}\) |
Men : Women Amount of all : 5 : 4 Amount of each : 3 : 2 ----------------------------------------------------- No. of person : \(\frac{5}{3}\) : \(\frac{4}{2}\) 5 : 6 Now, (i) M : W Amnt. 5 : 4 = 9 ↓ x20 ↓ x20 100 180 (given) (ii) M : W No. 5 : 6 = 11 ↓ x6 ↓ x6 30 66 (given) Thus, Amount of each man = \(\frac{total\;amount\;of\;all\;men}{no.\;of\;men}\) \(\frac{100}{30}\) = 3\(\frac{1}{3}\) |
