Divide RS.2000 among A, B and C in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5.
Let the amout
A gets = 2x
B gets - 3x
C gets = 5x
Total = Rs. 2000
So,
2x+3x+5x = 2000
(As they are like terms we can add them)
10x = 2000
x = 2000/10
therefore, x = 200
Now, Amount
A gets = 2 * x =2*200
=400Rs.
B gets = 3*x = 3*200
=600Rs.
C gets =5*x = 5 * 200
=1000Rs
