    Two friends, A and B, have money in the ratio of 4:3. If

    A's money decreases by 20% and B's money increases by Rs 35, their amounts become equal. What is the total sum of money they both have after these changes?
    A 1120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the money of A and B are 4x and 3x respectively. According to the question- 80% of 4x = 3x+35 3.2x – 3x = 35 x = 35×5 = 175 Sum of their final money = 3.2x + 3x+35 = 6.2x+35 = 1120
