Solution

The correct option is C 70
Let A's number of coins = x, so B's number of coins = 460x
34 of A =25 of B
34x=25(460x)
15x=8(460x)15x=36808x23x=3680x=160
A's number of coins = 160 coins
B's number of coins = 460x=300 coins
So, B has to give A, 70 coins, so they both have equal number of coins. which is 230 coins each.
