Question

rohan and sohan have their pocket money in the ratio 5:3 if rohan given 20 to sohan nothing of them will have equal pocket money how much pocket money did each of them have in the beginning

Answer 1

Let the Pocket money be x.
Total % of money he uses= 40% 
Total % of money remained= (100-40)% = 60%
Money remained= 60% of x
But, 
Money remained= rs36 (given)
SO,
=> 60% of x = 36
=> 60/100 * x= 36
=> 6 * x = 36 * 10
=>x = 360/6
=> x = rs 60
So, 
Total pocket money = rs. 60.
