  • Options
  • A. ?62,?34
  • B. ?6,?2
  • C. ?170,?124
  • D. ?43,?26

  • Correct Answer
  • ?62,?34 

    Explanation

    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
