If age of Shreya is 15 years and age of Bhoomika is 12 years, find how much Shreya & Bhoomika will get.Shreyaβs age = 15 years Bhoomikaβs age = 12 years Ratio = (πβπππ¦π^β² π πππ)/(π΅βππππππ^β² π πππ) = 15/12 = 5/4 = 5 : 4 Money will be divided in = 5 + 4 = 9 parts From which Shreya gets 5 parts out of 9 parts and Sangeeta gets 4 parts out of 9 parts. Money Shreya will get = 5/9 Γ 36 = 5 Γ 4 = Rs 20 Money Sangeeta will get = 4/9 Γ 36 = 4 Γ 4 = Rs 16
