Answer 1

Answer:

The sum of money received by each boy is equal to the quotient of the total sum of money and the total number of boys. Now, it is given that if there were 10 boys more, each boy would have received a rupee less. Here, the number of boys becomes x+10. The total sum of money remains the same, that is y rupees.
