Question

If a sum of ₹x is divided between A and B in the ratio `a/b : c/d`, then A gets :

Options

• `₹ ((abx)/(ac + bd))`

• `₹ ((abx)/(ad + bc))`

• `₹ ((adx)/(ad + bc))`

• `₹ ((adx)/(ab + cd))`

Answer 1

`bb(₹ ((adx)/(ad + bc)))`

Explanation:

The ratio `a/b : c/d` simplifies to ad : bc.

A's share is therefore `x xx (ad)/(ad + bc)`, which is option 3.
