Question

The share os A when Rs. 25 are divided between A and B so , that A gets Rs. 8.more than B is

Answer 1

let A get Rs. x and B get Rs. y

then,

x + y = 25 .........................eq.1

and

=> x = y + 8

=> x - y = 8 ........................eq.2

solving eq.1 and 2

x + y = 25

x - y = 8

________

2y = 17

y = 8.5

x = 8 + 8.5 = 16.5

therefore A gets Rs. 16.50 and B gets Rs. 8.50

Answer 2

Answer:

A share is Rs. 16.5

B Share is Rs. 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B share be x

So A share is x+8

A share + B share = Rs. 25

which is

x+8+x = 25

2x+8 = 25

2x = 25-8

2x = 17

x = 17/2 = 8.5

So B share is Rs. 8.5

A share is 8.5 + 8 = Rs. 16.5
