Question

ritu and kiran have some mangoes.Ritu said to kiran if you give 8 from your mangoes then the number of my mangoes will be 5/2 times as much mangoes as yours.k Iran said to rituparna if you give me 16 mangoes then my mangoes will be as much as yours.what is the total number of mangoes?

Answer 1

Answer:

48

Explanation:

Let the number of mango Ritu has be x an number of mangoes Kiran has be y.

So, if Ritu takes 8 mangoes from Kiran, Ritu will have x+8 mangoes which will be equivalent to (5/2)y times of Ritu.

So, from above statement we can form an equation:

x+8= (5/2)y [equation 1]

Now, if Kiran takes 16 mangoes from Ritu, Kiran will have y+16 which is equivalent to x mangoes of Ritu.

So, from above statement we can form another equation:

y+16=x  [equation 2]

Now comparing equation 1 and equation 2 we get:

x - (5/2)y= -8

x - y= 16

_____________

-3y/2= -24 [By subtracting equation 2 from equation 1]

3y= 48

y=16

So, Kiran has 16 mangoes.

now putting the value of y in equation 2 we get:

16+16=x

or, x=32

So, number of mangoes Ritu has is 32.

so, total number of mangoes is : 32+16=48

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:8+x=5\2

8*2+x=5

16+x=5

X=11

Ritu have 19 mangoes

16+x=19

19-16 =x

3 =x

15 mangoes
