Question
Divide 20 pens between Sheela and Sangeeta in the ratio of 3 : 2.
Solution
Terms of 3 : 2 are 3 and 2
Sum of these terms = 3 + 2 = 5
Sheela will get `3/5` of total pens and Sangeeta will get `2/5` of total pens.
Number of pens with Sheela = `3/5 xx 20` = 12
Number of pens with Sangeeta = `2/5 xx 20` = 8
