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

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

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

A+B=1210
(4/15)A=(2/5)B
2A=3B
Therefore, A=(3B)/2
and substituting, (3B/2)+B=1210
and hence, 5B=2420 => B=484 Rs.
(4/15)A=(2/5)B
2A=3B
Therefore, A=(3B)/2
and substituting, (3B/2)+B=1210
and hence, 5B=2420 => B=484 Rs.

If we want to find the B's part,
Then B's share = Rs.1210 x 2 = Rs. 484.5.
Then B's share = Rs.1210 x 2 = Rs. 484.5.
