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.

I don't get it. How do you find B's amount directly?

From where did you get the 3/2?

Simply we can solve by simultaneous equation.
A+B = 1210.......equation 1.
(4/15)A = (2/5)B.......equation 2.
(4/15)1210-B = 2/5 B.
B = 484.
That's it.
A+B = 1210.......equation 1.
(4/15)A = (2/5)B.......equation 2.
(4/15)1210-B = 2/5 B.
B = 484.
That's it.
