solve this question

Answer 1

Total amount = 475

Let A gets = x
and B gets = y

So x + y = 475
=> y = 475 - x

Given that 4/5 of A's amount = 2/7 of B's amount
=> 4/5 × x = 2/7 × y
=> 4x × 7 = 2y × 5
=> 28x = 10y

From first equation,

=> 28x = 10(475 - x)
=> 28x = 4750 - 10x
=> 28x + 10x = 4750
=> 38x = 4750
=> x = 125

y = 475 - x = 475-125 = 350

Thus, A got ₹125 and B got ₹350
