Question 49
DIRECTIONS for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
Robin says,"If Jai gives me Rs. 40, he will have half as much, as Atul, but if Atul gives me Rs. 40, then the three of us will have the same amount". What is the total amount of money that Robin, Jai and Atul have between them?
Solution
Let us assume the amounts with the them to be R, J and A.
If Atul gives 40 to Robin, A - 40 = R + 40 = J.
A = J+40, R = J-40.
If Jai gives 40 to Robin, J - 40 = half of J + 40. This gives J = 120.
So, A = 160 and R = 80.
Total amount with them = 120 + 160 + 80 = 360.
