Question

Divide 20 pens between Sheela and Sangeeta in the ratio of 3 : 2.

Answer 1

Terms of 3 : 2 are 3 and 2

Sum of these terms = 3 + 2 = 5

Sheela will get `3/5` of total pens and Sangeeta will get `2/5` of total pens.

Number of pens with Sheela = `3/5 xx 20` = 12

Number of pens with Sangeeta = `2/5 xx 20` = 8
