Adi and Dia together have ₹1,440. If of Adi's amount is equal to of Dia's amount, how much amount does Dia have?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹480.
Let the amount of Adi and Dia have x and y respectively.
Total amount of Adi and Dia together = ₹1,440
So, x + y = 1440 .....(1)
Also, (3/10)x = (3/5)y
⇒ x = 2y
Substitute the value of x into the first equation,
2y + y = 1440
⇒ 3y = 1440:
⇒ y = 1440/3 = 480
Therefore, Dia has ₹480.
