Answer 1

Answer:

A is the answer according to me

Answer 2

Given:

• Snehin and Darsh spent ₹95 altogehter
• Darsh and Yuvasai spent ₹216 altogether
• Darsh spent 1/5 of what Yuvasai spent

To find: How much did Snehin spend?

Solution:

Let us consider that Yuvasai spent ₹x Then Darsh spent ₹(x/5)

By the given condition,

• x/5 + x = 216
• or, 6x/5 = 216
• or, x = 216 * 5/6
• or, x = 180

So Darsh spent ₹(180/5) = ₹36

Also given Snehin and Darsh spent ₹95 altogether.

Therefore Snehin spent

= ₹(95 - 36)

= ₹59.

Option A is correct.
