Q1 of 7 Page 91

Divide Rs. 1575 between Kamal and Madhu in the ratio 7:2.

Given:- Total money for division = Rs 1575


Now as money to be distributed between Kamal and Madhu in ratio 7:2


Tip:- x be the number which on multiplying with 7 and 2 give actual value of money divided.


So, Let, ratios be 7 x and 2 x


7x + 2x = 1575


9x = 1575


x = 1575 / 9


x = 175


Now by putting the value of x in ratio


7x = 7 × 175


= 1225


And 2x = 2 × 175


= 350


Hence, Kamal will get Rs. 1225 and Madhu will get Rs. 350
