Question

on dividing rs200 between a and b such that twice of a's share is less than 3 times b's share by 200.find the share​

Answer 1

Answer:a got rs 80 and b got 120

Step-by-step explanation:let a got x

Then b got (200-x)

According to question,

2x= 3(200-x) - 200

x = 80

Answer 2

Answer:

let a's share be x and b's share be y then,

2x = 3y - ₹ 200

x + y = ₹ 200

y = ₹ 200 - x

on substituting y as ₹ 200 - x,

2x = 3 × (₹ 200 - x) - ₹ 200

2x = ₹ 600 - 3x - ₹ 200

2x + 3x = ₹ 600 - ₹ 200

5x = ₹ 400

x = ₹ 80

y = ₹ 200 - x = ₹ 200 - ₹ 80 = ₹ 120

so, x's share is ₹ 80 and y's share is ₹ 120
