Answer 1

Answer:

Neha:84

Sunil:60

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let neha has 'x' apples and sunil has 'y' apples

2. If sunil gives 12 apples to neha

Neha is left with x+12 apples and sunil is left with y-12 apples

3. Now neha has double the number of apples there with sunil

So x+12 = 2(y-12)

x = 2y-36 ........I

4. If neha gives 12 apples to sunil

Now neha has x-12 apples and sunil has y+12 apples

5. Now they both have same number of apples

6. So x-12 = y+12

x = y+24 ........ II

7. Solving I and II

2y-36 = y+24

y =60

8. Since x = y+24

x = 60+24

x = 84

So neha has 84 apples and sunil has 60 apples.
