A and B share a few marbles in the ratio 4 : 5. If B gets 10 marbles more than A, then what is A’s share?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Given,
A : B = 4 : 5,
B has 10 more marbles than A,
⇒ B - A = (5 - 4) units = 10,
⇒ 1 unit = 10 marbles
⇒ A's share of marbles = 4 x 10 = 40 marbles.
