X and Y together have ₹1300. If ₹10 less than three-fifth of the amount of X is equal to half of the amount of Y, then how much does X have? |
₹700 ₹600 ₹550 ₹650 |
₹600 |
X + Y = Rs. 1300, Y = 1300 - X, ⇒ Here, \(\frac{3x}{5}\) - 10 = \(\frac{1300 - x}{2}\) ⇒ \(\frac{3x}{5}\) - \(\frac{x}{2}\) = 650 + 10 ⇒ \(\frac{11x}{10}\) = 660 ⇒ x = Rs. 600 Therefore, X have Rs. 600. |
