Question

Atul and Vijay 21 rupees between them. Atul has 20 rupees more than Vijayhow much does money have Atul fraction should not be answer​

Answer 1

Let us consider the given scenario as follows;

Atul (A) + Vijay (V) = 21

or, A + V = 21

Now, according to the question,

Atul has Rs 20 more than the amount of money Vijay has with him.

Now, this would have meant that Atul has a total of Rs (20 + Vijay's amount). However, as per the last line of the question, the answer is not supposed to be in fraction.

This means we cannot proceed with the calculation as Rs (20 + V + V) = 21, where V = 0.5 [∵ 0.5 = $\frac{1}{2}$]

Therefore, we will have to assume that between Atul and Vijay, Atul has Rs 20 to contribute to the total amount.

So, 20 + V = 21;

This leaves us with Re 1, which obviously means that Vijay owns Re 1.

So, naturally, as per the 2 statements, Atul does have Rs 20 more than Vijay, who has Re 1 only.

Ans) Atul has Rs 20, and Vijay has Re 1

Answer 2

Answer: Re 20

Explanation:

Atul and Vijay have 21 rupees inbetween them. Atul has 20 rupees more than Vijay.

We need to calculate how much money does Atul have. And it should not be a fraction which means it's a round figure.

Total Amount = 21

Atul amount + Vijay amount = 21

Vijay amount = 21 - 20

= 1

(Since, Atul amount is 20 rupees more than Vijay)

Hence, Vijay amount is 1 rupee and Atul amount is 20.

Hope it helps!
