Question

if Ramu takes 6 Marbles from somu the number of Marbles with them will be equal. if Somu takes one marble from Ramu,Somu will have twice the number of Marbles that ramu has. what is the total number of Marbles with both of them? explain!!!

Answer 1

Answer

Total number of marbles are 42

Solution

Let Somu has x Marbles  and Ramu has y Marbles

If Ramu takes 6 Marbles from somu the number of Marbles with them will be equal.

x-6 = y+6

x - y = 12  -------(1)

if Somu takes one marble from Ramu, Somu will have twice the number of Marbles that ramu has.

x + 1 = 2(y - 1)

x - 2y = -3  --------(2)

Solving (1) and (2), we get

x = 27 and y = 15

Total number of marbles = x + y = 27 + 15 = 42 marbles
