Question

Ram and his sister Kalpana win a prize of Rs 2000. They decide to share the prize in the ratio of their ages. Ram is 15 years old and Kalpana is 10 years old. How much do each of them receive​

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• Ram -- ₹1200
• Kalpana -- ₹800

Explanation:

Their age total is 15+10=25, so Ram will get 15/25 = 0.6 of the total. Kalpana will get the remaining 0.4 of the total.

Ram receives 0.6 × ₹2000 = ₹1200

Kalpana receives 0.4 × ₹2000 = ₹800
