₹1250 is divided between A and B such that the amount of A to the amount of B is 12:13. What are the amounts received by A and B?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given:
Total Amount = ₹1250
Ratio (A : B) = 12 : 13
According to the formula:
Amount of a specific share = (Share in ratio / Total ratio) × Total amount
Total ratio = 12 + 13 = 25
A's share = (12 / 25) × 1250 = 600
B's share = (13 / 25) × 1250 = 650
A = ₹600, B = ₹650
