Sure! Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
1. Identify the total amount and the ratio:
- Total amount to be divided: 25,000
- Ratio in which the amount should be divided: 3 (Reeta) : 2 (Meeta)
2. Calculate the total parts:
- Total parts in the ratio = 3 (Reeta's parts) + 2 (Meeta's parts) = 5 parts
3. Determine the share for each part:
- Since the total amount is 25,000 and there are 5 parts in total, each part will be:
[tex]\[
\text{Amount per part} = \frac{25000}{5} = 5000
\][/tex]
4. Calculate Meeta's share:
- Meeta gets 2 parts of the total:
[tex]\[
\text{Meeta's share} = 2 \times 5000 = 10000
\][/tex]
5. Calculate Reeta's share:
- Reeta gets 3 parts of the total:
[tex]\[
\text{Reeta's share} = 3 \times 5000 = 15000
\][/tex]
6. Find the difference between Reeta's and Meeta's shares:
- The difference between Reeta's share and Meeta's share is:
[tex]\[
\text{Difference} = 15000 - 10000 = 5000
\][/tex]
So, Meeta gets 10,000 and the difference between the amounts Reeta and Meeta get is 5,000.
