A basket contains apples and oranges in the ratio 2 : x respectively. If we take out 4 apples from the basket then the respective ratio becomes 10 : 17 and if we take out 3 oranges instead of 4 apples then the respective ratio becomes 17 : 24 respectively. Find the total number of oranges and apples initially in the basket.

a:o = 2:x
a-4:o =10:17
o = 1.7 ×(a-4)
a:o-3 = 17:24
a: (1.7a-6.8-3) = 17:24
1.7 - 9.8/a = 1 + 7/17
7/10 -7/17 =9.8/a
a=34
0 = 51
a:o =34: 51 = 2:3
