Question

a property worth Rs. 40000 is divided between A and B . twice A's share exceeds 3 times B's share by Rs. 5000. find the share of each​

Answer 1

Answer:

A=25000 B=15000

Step-by-step explanation:

2A–3B=5000

A+B=40000 implies B=40000–A

Thus 2A–3(40000–A)=5000

2A–120000+3A=5000

5A=125000

Therefore A=25000

B=40000-25000=15000

Answer 2

Answer:

A= Rs 25,000

B= Rs 15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total worth of the property= Rs 40,000

let shares of A = Rs. A

let shares of B = Rs. B

According to Question

2A=3B+5000

2A-3B=5000

A+B= 40,000

(total property is the sum of share of A and B)

I have calculated the answer with elimination method.
