Question
When Sunil and Tanuj went for shopping initially Sunil had twice the money than Tanuj. They together bought things amounting to Rs.250. Out of which Tanuj’s share was 60%. At the end Sunil was left with thrice the amount that Tanuj had. What was the amount with Tanuj at the beginning___
Answer:
:
Initial money with Sunil = s and Tanuj = t
Purchases made by them = Rs. 250
Tanuj’s purchase = 60% of Rs. 250 = Rs. 150
Sunil’s purchase = Rs. 250 – Rs. 150 = Rs. 100
So, money left in the end (s – 100) and (t – 150)
Given s = 2t and (s – 100) = 3 (t – 150)
Solving we get t = 350.
