- ₹62,₹34
- ₹6,₹2
- ₹170,₹124
- ₹43,₹26
Correct Option: A
Let us assume Ram has R rupees and Mohan has M rupees.
According to question,
If Ram gives 30 rupees to Mohan, then
Ram has left money = R - 30 and Mohan has money = M + 30
Then Mohan will have twice the money left with Ram,
M + 30 = 2(R - 30)
M + 30 = 2R - 60
2R - M = 90................................(1)
Again According to question,
if Mohan gives 10 rupees to Ram, then
Mohan has left the money = M - 10 and Ram has the money = R + 10
Then According to question,
Ram will have thrice as much as is left with Mohan,
R + 10 = 3 (M - 10 )
⇒ R + 10 = 3M - 30
⇒ 3M - R = 10 + 30
⇒ 3M - R = 40..................................(2)
After Multiplying 2 with Equation (2) , add with the equation (1),
6M - 2R + 2R - M = 80 + 90
⇒ 6M - M = 170
⇒ 5M = 170
⇒ M = 170/5
⇒ M = 34
Put the value of M in equation (1), we will get
⇒ 2R - 34 = 90
⇒ 2R = 90 + 34
⇒ 2R = 124
⇒ R = 124/2
⇒ R = 62
