​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A

100

15-House rent.

85- Remaining

B

300

15 -House rent

255- Remaining

Now,

remaining amount of both A and B is 42500 so,

85x + 255x = 42500

x= 125

now rent paid by alone A is 15 × 125=1875

Answer 2

Answer:

1875

Step-by-step explanation:

let the salary of Rahul & Vijay 100x, 300x.

as their ratio is given ( 1:3 ).

So they are paying 15% as their rent on house.

Their remaining amount is - 85x & 255x (Vijay & Rahul)

therefore - 85x + 255x = 42500

x= 125.

house rent paid by Rahul - 15 * 125 = 1875

& house rent paid by Vijay - 45*125 = 5625.
