Question

A and B have certain amount of money. The sum of twice the amount A has and thrice the amount B has is equal to ₹ 1500.
How do you represent this as an equation?
[Consider, A has "$₹a$" and B has "$₹b$" amount of money.]

• A. $2a=3b+1500$
• B. $2a+3b=1500$
• C. $3a-2b=1500$
• D. $2a+2a+3b+3b=1500$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$2a+3b=1500$

Given, A has ₹ $a$ and B has ₹ $b$.

Given that,
The sum of twice the amount A has and thrice the amount B has is equal to ₹ 1500.

Twice the amount of money A has will be $2\times a=2a$.

Thrice the amount of money B has will be $3\times b=3b$.

Now, on framing the above provided statement,
we get $2a+3b=1500$.
