Question

Kavi and Kural each had a number of apples. Kavi said to Kural "If you give me 4 of your apples, my number will be thrice yours". Kural replied "If you give me $26$, my number will be twice yours". How many did each have with them?

• A. $50,22$
• B. $20,22$
• C. $50,2$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A $50,22$

Let Kavi has a Kural has $6$ apples

$A/Q$

$(a+4)=3(b-4)$.........(1)

$2(a-2b)=(b+2b)$

$a+4=3b-12$...........(1) $a=3b-16$

$2a-52=b+2b$

$6b-32-52=b+2b$

$5b=110b=22$ $a+4=3b-12$ $a=50$ Ans
