Ratio of money = 5:3
Pravin's share = 5x
Ritesh's share = 3x
If pravin gives 20 to Ritesh, both will have equal money, that is, ratio = 1:1
Now, pravin has: 5x-20
Ritesh has : 3x+20
5x-20/3x+20 = 1/1
5x-20 = 3x+20
2x = 40
x = 20
Pravin had: 5x = 5*20 =100
Ritesh had: 3x = 3*20 = 60
Hence Pravin had Rs.100 & Ritesh had Rs.60 at the beginning.
Hope it helps.
