__________________________

• Given :-

• Total Money = 240 Rupees

• Share of 1st person = X

• Share of 2nd person = X + 50

__________________________

• Step By Step Solution :-

In this question Money is divided between two people such that one gets 50 more than the other.

Let the Money for 1st person be X. And for the 2nd person be X + 50.

Let's Do It !!

$\implies\sf x + x + 50 = 240 \\ \\ \implies \sf2x = 240 - 50 \\ \\ \implies \sf \: x = \cancel\cfrac{190}{2} \\ \\ \implies \sf \: x = 95$

Therefore X = 95

Now,

Share of 1st person = X

= 95 Rupees

Share for 2nd person = X + 50

= 95 + 50

= 145 Rupees

• Check :-

L. H. S.

X + X + 50

= 95 + 95 + 50

= 240 Rupees

R. H. S.

= 240 Rupees

Therefore L. H. S. ≈ R. H. S.
