The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of dividing Rs 6,400 among three workers in the ratio \( \frac{3}{5} : 2 : \frac{5}{3} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Express the Ratios in a Common Format First, we need to express the ratios in a common format. The given ratios are \( \frac{3}{5} \), \( 2 \), and \( \frac{5}{3} \). To do this, we will convert all the ratios to have a common denominator. ### Step 2: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) The denominators in the ratios are 5 and 3. The LCM of 5 and 3 is 15. We will now convert each ratio to have 15 as the denominator. - For \( \frac{3}{5} \): \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{9}{15} \] - For \( 2 \): \[ 2 = \frac{2 \times 15}{1 \times 15} = \frac{30}{15} \] - For \( \frac{5}{3} \): \[ \frac{5}{3} = \frac{5 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{25}{15} \] ### Step 3: Write the Ratios Now we can write the ratios of the workers A, B, and C as: \[ A : B : C = 9 : 30 : 25 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Total Parts Next, we calculate the total number of parts in the ratio: \[ Total = 9 + 30 + 25 = 64 \] ### Step 5: Find the Value of One Part Now, we need to find the value of one part. We do this by dividing the total amount (Rs 6,400) by the total number of parts (64): \[ Value\ of\ one\ part = \frac{6400}{64} = 100 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Share of the Second Worker The second worker (B) has 30 parts. Therefore, the share of the second worker is: \[ Share\ of\ B = 30 \times 100 = 3000 \] ### Final Answer The share of the second worker is Rs 3,000. ---
