☆Let geeta's money = x
☆Let snigdha's = y
●Now, According to the question,
▪︎x = 2y
▪︎2 (x - 1500) = y + 1500
▪︎2x - 3000 = y + 1500
▪︎2x - y = 4500
●
put value of x = 2y
▪︎4y - y = 4500
▪︎y = 4500/3 = 1500...eq(2)
●Now we know that x = 2y then eq(2) becomes
▪︎x = 2 × 4500/3
▪︎x = 9000/3
▪︎x = 3000
•Thus
▪︎Geeta has ₹3000.
▪︎Snigdha has ₹1500.
