If 2600 rupees are divided between Sameer and Smita in the proportion 8 : 5, the share of each is _______ and _______ respectively.
Options
Rs 1500, Rs 1100
Rs 1300, Rs 900
Rs 800, Rs 500
Rs 1600, Rs 1000
Solution
Rs 2600 are divided among Sameer and Smita.
Ratio = 8 : 5
Total = 8 + 5 = 13
Sameer's share = `8/13 xx 2600 = 1600`
Smita's share = `5/13 xx 2600 = 1000`
Thus, Sameer's share is Rs 1600 and Smita's share is Rs 1000.
