Question

Divide Rs $\;60$ in the ratio $\;1:2$ between Kriti and Kiran.

Answer 1

Hint: We have given the ratio of distribution between Kriti and Kiran that is $\;1:2$ . From this ratio, at first, we will get the fraction for each person. We have the total cost Rs $\;60$ . We will multiply the fraction with the total cost and get the money for each.

Complete step by step solution:
We have total money Rs $\;60$ .
We have to distribute this money in a $\;1:2$ ratio between Kriti and Kiran.
Now the given ratio is $\;1:2$ .
From this, we can get the fractions for Kriti and Kiran.
Kriti will get $\dfrac{1}{{1 + 2}}$ that means $\dfrac{1}{3}$ rd of Rs $\;60$ .
Kiran will get $\dfrac{2}{{1 + 2}}$ that means $\dfrac{2}{3}$ rd of Rs $\;60$ .
Now;
$\dfrac{1}{3}$ rd of Rs $\;60$ is equal to $\dfrac{1}{3} \times 60$ .
After dividing $\;60$ with $3$ we get $\;20$ .
So Kriti will get Rs $\;20$ .
Now;
$\dfrac{2}{3}$ rd of Rs $\;60$ is equal to $\dfrac{2}{3} \times 60$ .
After dividing $\;60$ with $3$ and multiplying with $2$ we get $\;40$ .
So Kiran will get Rs $\;40$ .

So the final answer is if Rs $\;60$ will be divided in Kriti and Kiran in the ratio $\;1:2$ Kriti will get Rs $\;20$ and Kiran will get Rs $\;40$.

Additional Information: From the ratio $\;1:2$ we get that Kriti will get $\dfrac{1}{3}$ rd of Rs $\;60$ that is Rs $\;20$ .
As there are only two people and the total money is given Rs $\;60$ we can easily find the money Kiran will get. We just have to subtract $\;20$ from Rs $\;60$ .
So Kiran will get Rs $(60 - 20)$ that is Rs $\;40$ .

Note: From the ratio, we will easily find out the fraction. If we have $\;a:b$ the fractions will be in the form $\dfrac{a}{{a + b}}$ and $\dfrac{b}{{a + b}}$ . If we have the ratio ${a_1}:{a_2}:{a_3}:......:{a_n}$ for $n$ persons the fractions will be $\dfrac{{{a_1}}}{{{a_1} + {a_2} + {a_3} + ..... + {a_n}}}$ , $\dfrac{{{a_2}}}{{{a_1} + {a_2} + {a_3} + ..... + {a_n}}}$ , $\dfrac{{{a_3}}}{{{a_1} + {a_2} + {a_3} + ..... + {a_n}}}$ , ……. , $\dfrac{{{a_n}}}{{{a_1} + {a_2} + {a_3} + ..... + {a_n}}}$ respectively.
