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. |

A+B = 1210 ---- 1.
Given,
4/15*A = 2/5*B.
So A = 3/2*B ----- 2.
From 1 & 2.
3/2B+B = 1210.
5B = 1210*2.
B = 1210*2/5.
B = 484 ------ Answer.

A=4/5, B=2/5.
Total amount=1210.
Therefore the total amount of B=1210*2/5=484.
So, Ans is 484.
Total amount=1210.
Therefore the total amount of B=1210*2/5=484.
So, Ans is 484.

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.

Why to find ratio of A and B?

A:B = 2/5 : 4/15 = 3:2.
B = 1210/(3+2)*2 = 484.
B = 1210/(3+2)*2 = 484.

(a+b) = 1210 given.
a4/15 = b2/5 given.
Then, a/b = (2/15)*(15/4).
=> a:b = 3:2.
Now, 3x+2x = 1210.
Then, x = 242.
So, b will be 2*242 = 484(ans).
&, a will be 3*242 = 726.
