Question

Choose the most appropriate option:

A, B, C and D have got some money with them. If A gives 8 rupees to B, B will have as much as C has and A will have 3 rupees less than what C has. Also if A takes 6 rupees from C, A will have twice as much money as D. If B and D together have 50 rupees, how much money does A and B have respectively?

Options

  • 40, 27

  • 29, 32

  • 32, 29

  • 27, 40

MCQ

Solution

40, 27

Explanation:

Let the amount of B is x

Then, A = x + 13

B = x

C = x + 8

and D = `("x" + 19)/2`

Now B + D = 50

x + `("x" + 19)/2` = 50,  x = 27

Therefore, A = x + 13 ⇒ 27 + 13 = ₹ 40

and C = x + 8 ⇒ 27 + 8 = ₹ 35
