Question:

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?

Options:

8 marbles

42 marbles

12 marbles

40 marbles

Correct Answer:

40 marbles

Explanation:

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.
