How much money does parzan have?
A) Rs 60
B) Rs 145
C) Rs 300
D) Rs 420

Answer 1

Answer:

Parzan had Rs.300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Parzan have Rs.x

Then, Gazi will have Rs.(720 - x)

Now, according to the Question,

(1/5) of Parzan's money = (1/7) of Gazi's money

(1/5) of x = (1/7) of (720 - x)

(1/5) × x = (1/7) × (720 - x)

(1/5)x = (720 - x)/7

x/5 = (720 - x)/7

Cross multiplying we get,

7 × x = 5 × (720 - x)

7x = 5(720 - x)

7x = 3600 - 5x

7x + 5x = 3600

12x = 3600

x = 3600/12

x = 300

Hence,

Parzan had Rs.300.
