Question :

Anushka and Aarushi are friends. They have equal amount of money in their pockets. Anushka gave


1/3 of her money to Aarushi as her birthday gift. Then Aarushi gave a party at a restaurant and cleared the bill by paying half of the total money with her. If the remaining

money in Aarushi’s pocket is Rs.1600, find the sum gifted by Anushka.​

Answer 1

Let the money in each of their pockets initially be 3x

So money given by Anushka to Arushi as her birthday gift = 3x(1/3) = x

Money with Arushi after this gift = 3x + x = 4x

Money Arushi spent on her birthday party = 1/2 of money she had = 1/2 of 4x = 2x

Money remaining with Arushi now = 4x - 2x = 2x

2x = 1600

x = 800

So, money gifted by Anushka = x = 800 rs
