Given:
Two-third of Ria's money is equal to one-fifth of Shoba's money.
To find:
The ratio between the shares of money of both Ria and Shoba.
Solution:
Let the Ria has x amount of money and Shoba has y amount of money.
So, according to the question,
Two-third of Ria's money = One-fifth of Shoba's money.
So,
[tex] \frac{2}{3} \times x = \frac{1}{5} \times y[/tex]
[tex] \frac{x}{y} = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{3}{2} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{10} [/tex]
Hence, the ratio of shares of money of Ria and Shobha is 3:10.
So, the correct answer is 3:10.
