Question

Divide the share 100 between A and B such that twiceof A's share is less than 3 times of B's share by 200​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let A's share be x.

Then B's share will be (100-x)

According to the question -:

Twice of A's share, that is 2x

Is less than, that is (-2x)

3 times B's share that is 3(100 - x)

Is 200.

Now, let us write the equation as per the question. We know all the terms, right? Let us put them together.

3(100-x)-2x = 200

Now we know the equation, let us solve it. On solving the bracket, we will get -:

300 3x-2x = 200

300 5x 200

-5x = 200 - 300

-5x = - 100

Now, (-) and (-) gets cancelled, we get - :

X = 20

That is A's share was 20 and that of B's was
