Therefore, x = 360/15 = 24

So, the amount Kunal gets = 7 x 24 = Rupees 168

the amount Mohit gets = 8 x 24 = Rupees 192

As the total amount is 360, we can make sure that we got the correct answer by adding the amounts we got for Kunal and Mohit.

168 + 192 = Rupees 360.

Therefore the answer is confirmed.
