Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer :

Let the stake money be ‘a’ and ‘b’ respectively.

Given, to one he said; if your bird wins, than you give me your stake-money, but if you do not win, I shall give you two third of that. Going to the other, he promised in the same way to give three fourths.

From both of them his gain would be only 12 gold coins

If the 1st one wins

⇒ a - 3b/4 = 12 ----- (1)

If the 2nd one wins

⇒ b – 2a/3 = 12 ----- (2)

Equating 1 and 2

⇒ 5a/3 = 7b/4

⇒ a = 21b/20

Thus, 21b/20 – 3b/4 = 12

⇒ 6b/20 = 12

⇒ b = 40

Thus, a = 21b/20 = Rs. 42

Hence the stake of money of first hen-owner is ₹ 42 and of second hen-owner is ₹ 40.
