Question

A sum of money is to be distributed between Ajay and Sanjay in the proportion of 7:11, respectively . Sanjay gets rupees 6000 more than Ajay . How much did Ajay ?​

Answer 1

10500

Explanation:

The ratio of amount distributed among Ajay and Sanjay is 7:11

The part of amount to Ajay = 7x

The part of amount to Sanjay = 11x

Sanjay's amount = Ajay's amount + 6000

11x = 7x + 6000

11x - 7x = 6000

4x = 6000

x = 6000/4 = 1500

Ajay's amount = 7x =

7 * 1500 = 10500

Answer 2

It’s a proportion problem!!
7/11 = x/6000
(7)(6000) = 11x
42000 = 11x
42000/11 = x
3,818.18 = x
