Question

A and B have rs240 between them.B recieves re 100 from A and finds that he has now two times as money as A.how much had A and B at first.​

Answer 1

Let the amount A has be x and the amount B has be (240-x)

According to the question,

(240-x) + 100 = 2(x - 100)

=> 340 - x = 2x - 200

=> 3x = 540

=> x = 180

Thus, A had Rs 180 and B had Rs 60
