Given : Sam and Simran both have some marbles in their hands
Sam says to Simran if you give me your one marble then we both have an equal number of marbles
Simran smiles and says to Sam if you give me your one marble, then I will have double the marbles left with you
To Find : How many marbles both have in their hands
Solution :
SAM has marbles = A
Simran has Marbles = B
Sam says to Simran if you give me your one marble then we both have an equal number of marbles
=> A + 1 = B - 1
=> A = B - 2
Simran smiles and says to Sam if you give me your one marble, then I will have double the marbles left with you
=> B + 1 = 2 ( A - 1)
=> B = 2A - 3
=> B = 2(B - 2) - 3
=> B = 2B - 4 - 3
=> B = 7
A = B - 2 = 5
SAM has marbles = 5
Simran has Marbles = 7
