Answer 1

Answer:

Ram has 3 marbles and Sita has 1 marble.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ram has 7 and Sita has 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that ram has x marbles and Sita has y marbles. Given that if ram gives one of the marbles to sita, then they both have equal no. of marbles. That means, x-1=y+1

Again, if sita gives one of the marbles to ram, then ram will have double the marbles what sita is left with.

That means, x+1=2(y-1)

Simple. Now just solve both equations, you will get the required answer.

x-1=y+1

(-) x+1=2y-2

--------------------

-2 = -y+3

--------------------

Now y=5

If you put this y=5 in any equation, you will get the initial no. of marbles.

x-1=y+1

x-1=5+1

x-1=6

x=7

Therefore, ram has 7 marbles and sita has 5 marbles.

Thank you.
