Haryana Police Constable Model Paper 9

Sum of $500$
Ratio of their two parts is $5:3$
The sum of ratios of two parts will be equal to the actual sum given.
Let the ratio of two parts be $5\mathrm{x}$ and $3\mathrm{x}$
Sum of Ratios $=5\mathrm{x}+3\mathrm{x}=8\mathrm{x}=500$
Value of first part $=\left(\frac{5\mathrm{x}}{8\mathrm{x}}\right)\times 500=312.5$
Value of second part $=\left(\frac{3\mathrm{x}}{8\mathrm{x}}\right)\times 500=187.5$
∴ The value of two parts is $312.5$ and $187.5$ respectively.
