Question

On dividing Rs. 200 between A and B such that twice of A's share is less than 3 times B's share by 200 what is B's share?

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your answer,

dividing $200 between A an B means

A + B = 200

twice A's share is less than 3 times B's share by 200

2A = 3B - 200

by solving the system of equations

A + B = 200

2A = 3B - 200

we find

A = $80

B = $120

Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

B's share is Rs.120

Given :

Total amount = Rs.200

Twice of A's share is less than 3 times B's share by 200

To find :

B's share

Solution :

Let A's share be Rs.x

Hence, B's share = Rs.200-x

According to the problem,

2x + 200 = 3 (200-x)

=> 2x + 200 = 600 - 3x

=> 2x + 3x = 600-200

=> 5x = 400

x = 400/5

= 80

Therefore, A's share is Rs.80

B's share = 200-x

= 200-80

= 120

Hence, B's share is Rs.120
