Answer 1

Answer:

John had 9 marbles and Jivanti had 36 marbles.

OR,

John had 36 marbles and Jivanti had 9 marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let John had x marbles.

Jivanti had = y marbles

The number of marbles Jivanti had y = 45-x

After losing 5 marbles each,

left marbles of John = x-5

Jivanti = 45-x-5 = 40-x

A/Q,

(x-5)(40-x) = 124

=> 40x - 200 - x² + 5x = 124

=> - x² + 45x - 200 - 124 = 0

=> -x² + 45x - 324 = 0

=> -x² + 9x + 36x - 324 = 0

=> -x(x - 9) + 36(x - 9) = 0

=> (x - 9)(36 -x) = 0

=> x = 9 OR, x = 36

If x = 9, y = 45 - x = 45 - 9 = 36.

If x = 36, y = 45 - x = 45 - 36 = 9.

Therefore,

John had 9 marbles and Jivanti had 36 marbles.

OR,

John had 36 marbles and Jivanti had 9 marbles. ANS.
