of B's amount, how much amount does B have?
of A's amount is equal to of B's amount, how much amount does B have?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| 4 | A | = | 2 | B | |
| 15 | 5 |
 A = |
 |
2 | x | 15 |  B |
| 5 | 4 |
| A = |
3 | B |
| 2 |
| |
A | = | 3 |
| B | 2 |
A : B = 3 : 2.
 B's share = Rs. |
|
1210 x | 2 | |
= Rs. 484. |

(4/15)A = (2/5)B.
Solve it and you will get A:B = 3:2.

This can be done cery easily by simple algebra. tTher are two conditions,
First, A+B =1210.
Second,
A* 4/15 = B* 2/5.
A= B* 2/5 *15/4
A = 3/2 B. Put this value of A in first condition,
We get,
3/2 * B + B =1210.
5/2 *B =1210.
B =1210 * 2/5.
B =484.
First, A+B =1210.
Second,
A* 4/15 = B* 2/5.
A= B* 2/5 *15/4
A = 3/2 B. Put this value of A in first condition,
We get,
3/2 * B + B =1210.
5/2 *B =1210.
B =1210 * 2/5.
B =484.

To find B=?.
B = 1210*2/5.
B = 2420/5.
B = 484,
B = 1210*2/5.
B = 2420/5.
B = 484,
