Question
A certain amount was divided between Salim and Rahim in the ratio of 4 : 3. If Rahim’s share was Rs. 2400, the total amount was.
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:
-
We know that Rahim's share is Rs. 2400 and this represents 3 parts of the total amount (since the ratio is 4:3, meaning the total is divided into 7 parts - 4 parts for Salim and 3 parts for Rahim).
-
To find the value of 1 part, we divide Rahim's share by 3. So, 2400 / 3 = Rs. 800. This means each part is worth Rs. 800.
-
Now, to find the total amount, we multiply the value of 1 part by the total number of parts (7). So, 800 * 7 = Rs. 5600.
Therefore, the total amount was Rs. 5600.
