Question

the ages of elder and younger daughter of Sangita's are 12 years and 8 years respectively. If Sangita divides her Rs 1,00,000 to her daughters based on the ratio of their ages, how much more money will the elder daughter get than the younger daughter? [2]​

Answer 1

The elder daughter will receive Rs 20,000 more than the younger daughter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the elder daughter's age to the younger daughter's age is 12:8, or simplified to 3:2.

To divide Rs 1,00,000 between the daughters based on the ratio of their ages, we need to find the total number of parts in the ratio, which is 3+2=5.

Then, we divide Rs 1,00,000 by 5 to find the value of each part, which is Rs 20,000.

The elder daughter will get 3 parts, which is 3 x Rs 20,000 = Rs 60,000, and the younger daughter will get 2 parts, which is 2 x Rs 20,000 = Rs 40,000.

Therefore, the elder daughter will receive Rs 60,000 - Rs 40,000 = Rs 20,000 more than the younger daughter.
