Answer

Amount collected for charity = ₹2100.

The ratio between orphanage and a blind school = 3 : 4.

Sum of ratio = 3 + 4 = 7

Orphanage share = 37×2100=900.\dfrac{3}{7} \times ₹2100 = ₹900.

Blind school share = 47×2100=1200.\dfrac{4}{7} \times ₹2100 = ₹1200.

Hence, the share of orphanage school is ₹900 and the share of blind school is ₹2100.
