Answer 1

Answer:

A. 40, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

40 is twice 20, unlike all the rest of the answers

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 40,20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sahid sold x cars

Then, Mahmood sold 2x cars

So, x + 2x = 60

or, 3x = 60

i.e. x=20

and, 2x = 2×20 = 40

Hence, Mahmood sold 40 cars and Sahid sold 20 cars.
