Refer Attachment for no. Of Marbles Amar and Ajay have.
Now, for question (a), Add number of marbles both of them have, I.e., 108+324=431
In question (b), we need to first find the number marbles they could each have, and that is only done by dividing the total number of marbles (number obtained in first question) by 2. In other words the number of marbles they each have is
432/2 = 216.
Amar has to give some marbles to Ajay for this to be possible, and that is
324-216=108
Hence, Amar gave Ajay 108 marbles.
