Question

Rishi has twice the amount of money as Apoorva has, but 5 less than half as much money as Subodh has. If Apoorva has 50, how much do Rishi and Subodh have

Answer 1

let us take apoorvas money = x
then rishis money = 2x
then rishis money = 1/2(2x)-5 [subodhs money]
now x=50
then 2x=100
[(1/2(2x)-5)y]=100
45
rishis money=100 and subodhs = 45
