A : B = 3 : 2, total = ₹1210.
2. Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5 ⇒ 1 part = ₹242
3. A = 3 parts = ₹242 × 3 = ₹726.
Answers:
A = ₹726.
B = ₹484.

By solving 4A/15 and 2B/5, we will get the ratio 3:2.

So, total 5 parts,
Let's find 1 part that is 1210/5 = 242.
Then for B, the ratio is 2, so multiply it by 2 = 484.

(4/5)A = (2/5)B,
then A/B = 3/2,
or A:B = 3:2.

B's amount = (2/(3+2)) × 1210,
= 484.

B's share Rs = (1210 * 2/5) = 484.
A's share Rs = (1210 * 4/15) = 323.

A = B.
4/15 = 2/5.
Total amount = 1210,
2/5 * 1210 = 484.

B's Share Rs = (1210*2/3) = 484.
A's Share Rs = (1210*4/15) = 323.

4x/15 = 2y/5.
x/y = 3/2.
3+2 = 1210.
5 = 1210.
1 = 242.
y = 2y.
2 * 242.
= 484.

4/15A = 2/5B.
a/b = 2/5 * 15/4,
a/b = 3/2,
a:b = 3:2.
3x + 2x = 1210.
5x = 1210.
x = 1210/5.
x = 242.
Sub x value in b.
2(242) = 484.

So the B value is 484.
