• B. Govind $=90$ kg and Govil $=45$kg
• C. Govind $=30$ kg and Govil $=45$kg
• D. Govind $=60$ kg and Govil $=45$kg

Answer 1

The correct option is D Govind $=60$ kg and Govil $=45$kg

Govils weight $=x$

Govind weight $=x+15$

Govil $=\frac{3}{4}$ Govind

$x=\frac{3}{4}(x+15)x=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{3}{4}\left(15\right)\frac{1}{4}x=\frac{45}{4}x=45$kg

Govind weight $=45+15=60$kg
