Divide 20 pens between Sheela and Sangeeta in the ratio of 3:2.

Given :

The number of pens $=20$

To do :

We have to divide the pens between Sheela and Sangeeta in the ratio of 3:2.

Solution :  

Sheela got 3 parts of the total number of pens and Sangeeta got 2 parts of the total number of pens.

Total number of parts $=3 + 2 = 5$ 

The number of pens Sheela gets $= \frac{3}{5} \times 20$

                                                          $ = 3 \times 4 = 12$

The number of pens Sheela gets $= \frac{2}{5} \times 20$

                                                             $ = 2 \times 4 = 8$

Therefore, the number of pens divided between Sheela and Sangeeta is 12:8.
