Final answer:

To find Fatima and Umer's shares, divide Amna's share (Rs 25,000) by 3 to find the value of one part, then multiply by 2 to get Fatima's share and use Amna's share value directly for Umer's share.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves finding the shares of Fatima and Umer when a sum of money is divided between them in the ratio of 2:3 and Amna's share is Rs 25,000. To solve this, we can first assume that the total sum is divided into 5 equal parts since 2+3 equals 5. If Amna's share is 3 parts (Rs 25,000), then each part is worth Rs 25,000 divided by 3. Once we have the value of one part, we can easily calculate Fatima's share (2 parts) and Umer's share (3 parts).

Step 1. Calculate the value of one part: Rs 25,000 / 3

Step 2. Calculate Fatima's share: 2 parts, so multiply the value of one part by 2.

Step 3. Calculate Umer's share: His share is the same as Amna's (since they both have 3 parts), which is already given as Rs 25,000.
