Answer 1

♧♧HERE IS YOUR ANSWER♧♧

Let us consider that Asha had Rs X.

》By the given condition, Ajith lent her Rs X.

So, she then had Rs 2X.

Asha spent Rs 10 from Rs 2X.

She had Rs (2X - 10).

》》Then Ajith lent her Rs (2X - 10).

So, she had Rs (4X - 20).

She spent Rs 10 out of Rs (4X - 20).

She had Rs (4X - 30).

》》》Again, Ajith lent her Rs (4X - 30).

Thus, she had Rs (8X - 60).

She spent Rs 10 out of Rs (8X - 60).

So, she had (8X - 70).

By the given condition,

8X - 70 = 0

=> 8X = 70

=> X = 8.75

Hence, Asha had Rs 8.75
