Question

dhruv and hemant had 60 marbles altogether . if hemant gave 1/6th of his marbles to dhruv , dhruv had twice asd many marbles as hemant . how many marbles did dhruv had at first ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the marbles having a dhruv and hemanth be x and y

let y = 24

a.c.p hemanth givves 1/6th of his marbles to dhruv

then y = 24/6 = 4 so he gives 4 marbles to dhruv then hemanth had 20 marbles

as he gives 4 marbles to dhruv. The marbles at dhruv becomes twcie as hemanth then 20x 2 = 40

40- 4 = 36

Therefore dhruv had 36 marbles at first
