Question

rishi has twice the amount of money as apoorva has,but Rs 5 less than half as much money subodh has.If apoorva has 50 Rs find out the money with rishi and subodh???

Answer 1

subodh has rs 95
rishi has 2×50=100
but apoorva has rs 5 less then subodh so it will be 100-5=95

Answer 2

Solution :

Let us initially assume that the amount of money that Apoorva has is Rs. x.

Rishi has twice the amount of money Apoorva has.

So, the amount of money owned by Rishi : 2x

But , this is half of what Subodh has.

Thus, Subodh has Rs. 4x

Apoorva has Rs. 50

So, the value of x is 50.

2x = Rs. 100

4x = Rs. 200

Answer :

The amount of money with Rishi and Subodh are Rs. 100 and Rs. 200 respectively.

Additional Information :

For solving these types of problems, always assume one of the values as a variable and calculate the others as an expression involving that previous variable as to keep this in one variable.

Later, further details will be provided , substituting those , it will be simplified to be an easily solvable linear equation.
