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?
Rs. 460
Rs. 484
Rs. 550
Rs. 664
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.

A+B Total value is R.s 1210.
So Directly we can Calculate B share,
Acc to the question B share 2/5,
Thus 1210 of 2/3,
= 1210 * 2/3,
= 484 RS.

Nice one more method
1210 is total of 2 members

Assume b is x
therefore is A is 1210-x
so 4/15*(1210-x)=2/5*x
4(1210-x)=6x
10x=4840
x=484

Hey rekha,
It is nothing.They used the formula
To find a=total amt given*(a ratio/a+b ratio)
To find b=total amt given*(b ratio/a+b ratio)

A+B=1210
(4/15)A=(2/15)B
A=(15/4)(2/5)B
A/B=3/2
Take it as A/3=B/2
Adding denominators 5P.
So,5P=1210
P=242
B's Amount is 2P i.e,2(242)=484

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.

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.

A+B = 1210.
(4/15)A = (2/5)B.
A = (30/20)B.
A = (3/2)B,
A = 1.5B.

A+B = 1210.
.5B+B = 1210.
2.5B = 1210,
B = 1210/2.5,
B = 484.

A+B=1210.

A:B=3:2.
A/B=3/2.
2A=3B.

Therefore, A=(3B)/2.

And substituting, (3B/2)+B=1210.

And hence, 5B=2420 => B=484 Rs.

A three digit number has the ratio of its units digit is the number itself as 1 : 27.

Find its tens digit? Please solve this.

Govind said:   1 decade ago
No need to make complex its easy.

Because of question ask about result of b.

A = 1210, B = 1210;

2/5*B = 2/5*1210.

= 484.
