Divide RS.2000 among A, Band C in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5.
total amount = Rs 2000
in the ratio = 2 : 3 : 5
distributed between = A : B : C
sum of the ratios = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10
A' s share -
2 by 10 multiplied by 2000
= Rs 400
B' s share-
3 by 10 multiplied by 2000
=Rs 600
C' s share -
5 by 10 multiplied by 2000
= Rs 1000
To check -
add all the shares of A, B and C
Rs(600 + 400 + 100)
= RS 2000
therefore we have distributed Rs 2000 between A ,B and C
