If Vijay gives 'x' marbles to Ajay then Vijay and Ajay would have V - x and A + x marbles.
V - x = A + x --- (1)
If Ajay gives 2x marbles to Vijay then Ajay and Vijay would have A - 2x and V + 2x marbles.
V + 2x - (A - 2x) = 30 => V - A + 4x = 30 --- (2)
From (1) we have V - A = 2x
Substituting V - A = 2x in (2)
6x = 30 => x = 5.
Let the train fare between the two places for one person be Rs.t
Bus fare between the two places for two persons Rs.4/3 t
=> 6/2 (4/3 t) + 8(t) = 1512
=> 12t = 1512 => t = 126.
Let the number of coins of each kind be x.
=> 5x + 2x + 1x = 1152
=> 8x = 1152 => x = 144
Total distance traveled = 1800 km.
Distance traveled by plane = 600 km.
Distance traveled by bus = x
Distance traveled by train = 3x/5
=> x + 3x/5 + 600 = 1800
=> 8x/5 = 1200 => x = 750 km.
9 x + x = 13 + 27
10 x = 40 => x = 4
Let the costs of each kg of apples and each kg of rice be Rs.a and Rs.r respectively.
10a = 24r and 6 * 20.50 = 2r
a = 12/5 r and r = 61.5
a = 147.6
Required total cost = 4 * 147.6 + 3 * 61.5 + 5 * 20.5
= 590.4 + 184.5 + 102.5 = Rs.877.40
19x + 19y + 17 = -19x + 19y - 21
38x = -38 => x = -1
Let the numerator and denominator of the fraction be 'n' and 'd' respectively.
d = 2n - 1
(n + 1)/(d + 1) = 3/5
5n + 5 = 3d + 3
5n + 5 = 3(2n - 1) + 3 => n = 5
d = 2n - 1 => d = 9
Hence the fraction is : 5/9.
2C + 3T = 1300 --- (1)
3C + 3T = 1200 --- (2)
Subtracting 2nd from 1st, we get
-C + T = 100 => T - C = 100
Let the two-digit number be 10a + b
a = b + 2 --- (1)
10a + b = 7(a + b) => a = 2b
Substituting a = 2b in equation (1), we get
2b = b + 2 => b = 2
Hence the units digit is: 2.
