Money with parveen= 5x/8
Money with ritesh= 3x/8
(5x/8) - 20= (3x/8) + 20
(5x-3x)/8= 40
2x = 320
x= 160
Therefore money with parveen was = 5(160)/8= ₹100
And that with ritesh was = 3(160)/8 = ₹60
Money with ritesh= 3x/8
(5x/8) - 20= (3x/8) + 20
(5x-3x)/8= 40
2x = 320
x= 160
Therefore money with parveen was = 5(160)/8= ₹100
And that with ritesh was = 3(160)/8 = ₹60
