Question

on dividing 200 rupees between A & B,such that twice of A's share is less than the B's share 3 times by 200. Find B's share.

Answer 1

Let A’s share be x.Then B’s share will be (200 - x)According to the question -:
3(200 - x) - 2x = 200
600 - 3x - 2x = 200
600 - 5x = 200
-5x = 200 - 600
-5x = - 400
x = 80
That is A’s share was 80 and that of B’s was 120
