Question

Solve the given question Divide Rs 400 in ratio of 1:3

Answer 1

In order to divide the segment RS in a ratio of 1:3, let's divide it by 4, this way we can use 1 part to the left and 3 parts to the right:

Dividing the length by 4, we have:

`(400)/(4)=100`

That means we can use a point X on the segment RS, where RX = 100 and XS = 300.
