A and B together have Rs. 1210. If 
of A's amount is equal to 
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. |

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.

4/15A = 2/5B.
a/b = 2/5 * 15/4.
a/b = 3/2.
a:b = 3:2.
Then 3x + 2x = 1210.
5x = 1210.
x = 1210/5.
x = 242.
Then Sub x value in b.
B = 2(242) = 484.
A = 3(242) = 726.
a/b = 2/5 * 15/4.
a/b = 3/2.
a:b = 3:2.
Then 3x + 2x = 1210.
5x = 1210.
x = 1210/5.
x = 242.
Then Sub x value in b.
B = 2(242) = 484.
A = 3(242) = 726.

(4/5)A = (2/5)B,
then A/B = 3/2,
or A:B = 3:2.
B's amount = (2/(3+2)) × 1210,
= 484.
then A/B = 3/2,
or A:B = 3:2.
B's amount = (2/(3+2)) × 1210,
= 484.
