On dividing Rs. 200 between A and B such that twice of A’s share is less than 3 times B’s share by 200. B’s share is?

Let A’s share be x

Then B’s share will be (200-x)


According to the question


3(200-x)-2x = 200


600-3x-2x = 200


600-5x = 200


5x = 400


x = 80


(divide by 5 on both the sides)


Hence, A’s share is Rs. 80


B’s share is 200-80 = Rs. 120
