Question

Divide Rs. 72,000 between Kesav and David in the ratio of 5 : 4.

Answer 1

Kesav will get, 5x = 5 * 8000 = Rs. 40,000

David will get, 4x = 4 * 8000 = Rs. 32,000

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the amount divided between Kesav and David

total amount = Rs. 72,000

amount is divided in the ratio = 5 : 4

thus,

5x + 4x = 72,000

9x = 72,000

x = 72,000 / 9 = 8000

Kesav will get, 5x = 5 * 8000 = Rs. 40,000

David will get, 4x = 4 * 8000 = Rs. 32,000

Answer 2

Kesav gets Rs. 40,000 and David gets Rs. 32,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total ratio representing Kesav's and David's shares is 5 + 4 = 9 parts. Therefore, each part of their shared money equals Rs. 72,000 / 9 = Rs. 8,000.

So, Kesav's share, which is 5 parts, is Rs. 8,000 * 5 = Rs. 40,000.

And David's share, which is 4 parts, is Rs. 8,000 * 4 = Rs. 32,000.

So, Kesav gets Rs. 40,000 and David gets Rs. 32,000 from Rs. 72,000 when divided in the ratio of 5 : 4.
