Suppose Tom has ₹ x.
Therefore Jasmine has ₹ (41-x).
Now, according to the question;
(1/4) × x = (1/7) × (41-x) + 2,
=> x = 164/7 - 4x/7 + 8,
=> 11x/7 = 220/7
=> x = 20 [Answer]

Answer:
RS.20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the money at tom be x and the money at jasmine be y
they both have 41 Rs altogether
∴x+y = 41
According to the 2nd condition
x/4-y/7=2
= 7x-4y = 56
(2)
multiplying equation 1 by 4
4x+4y= 164 (3)
adding the equation (2), (3) we get
11x=220
x=20
∴tom has Rs 20
