Question

5.
Two boys go on a picnic with equal sums of money. A
spends 120 and B spends * 180. Now the ratio of money
left in their pockets is 4:1. What amount did they have
in their pockets originally.​

Answer 1

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

let both have 'X' money

X-120\X-180=4/1

X-120=4X-720

600=3X

X=200

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the Sum of money they originally had be equal to x

▪ Money spend by A = x - 120

▪ Money spend by B = x - 180

Ratio of money left:

(x - 120)/(x - 180) = 4/1

=> x - 120 = 4x - 720

=> 600 = 3x

=> x = 200

They had originally rs. 200
