​

Answer 1

Answer:

Murthy's share=rs.792

Prasad's Share=Rs.672

Step-by-step explanation ;

Ratio of Money divided between Murthy and Prasad=22/7:8/3

Let Murthy get =Rs.22x/7

Let prasad get=Rs.8x/3

Murthy gets Rs.120 more than Prasad share

Means

Prasad's share+120=Murthy's share

8x/3+120=22x/7

120=22x/7-8x/3

120=22x*3-8x*7/21   (LCM=21)

120=66x-56x/21

120=10x/21

120*21/10=x

252=x

X=252

Murthy's share=22x/7

22*252/7=792

Prasad's share=8x/3

8*252/3=672
