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

A4/15 = B2/5.
A/B = 3/2,
5 = 1210,
1 = 242,
B = 242 of 2 = 484.

4 * 5a = 2815b
20a = 30b
A:B = 3:2
5-1210
3-726
2-484
B = 484.

4/15*(1210-B)=2/5*B
=>5B=2*1210
=>B=2*1210/5
=>B=484

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

A/B = 3/2.
1210/5 = 242,
242 * 2 = 484.

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