Select the appropriate alternative answer for the following questions.

24 Bananas were distributed between Shubham and Anil in the ratio 3 : 5, then how many bananas did Shubham get?

Total bananas = 24


Ratio in which the bananas are divided = 3:5


Let number of bananas Shubham got = 3x


∴ Number of bananas Anil got = 5x


∴ 3x+5x = 24


⇒ 8x = 24


⇒ x = 3


∴ Shubham got (3 × 3) = 9 bananas.


Thus, option D is correct.
