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. |

Spirit part in a mixture is 1/4.
Water part in a mixture s 3/4.
The spirit volume is added in percentage is 25% which comes 1 for 4.
Total parts are 5, spirit part is 2 and water part is 3. The resultant ratio is 2:3.

It is simple that the share of b is 2/5, it is understood that the share of a is 3/5. So apply the % and find out.

We can do this question in this way also.
A = 4/15, B = 2/5.
Both are equal to each other we can say that,
A = B -> (2/5 : 4/15) * 15.
A : B -> 6 : 4.
B -> 4/10 * 1210.
B -> 484 Ans.
