Seema and Meena divide a sum of Rs. 25000 in the ratio of 3 : 2 respectively. If Rs. 5000 is added to each of their shares, what would be in the new ratio formed ?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Seema's share}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {25000 \times \frac{3}{5}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}.15000. \cr & {\text{Meena's share}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {25000 \times \frac{2}{5}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}.10000. \cr} $$
∴ Required ration
= (15000 + 5000) : (10000 + 5000)
= 4 : 3
