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. |

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.

(4/15)A = (2/5)B,

Here,
A + B = 12110.
A 4/15 = B 2/5.
It can be written as per the rules of the ratio.
4/15 = 4 :15 and 2/5 = 2:5.
As per rules of ratio:
If a : b = c : d then a : b :: c : d in short it equal to ad : bc.
So, here 4 : 15 = 2 : 5.
Then,
4:15 :: 2:5 = 4 * 5 : 15 * 2 = 20 : 30.
2 : 3 So, the ratio between a and b is 2 : 3.
=> a + b = 1210
So, a : b =2 : 3.
b =1210 * 3/5.
=726.
Am I correct? Is there any mistake please tell me.
