X and Y together have ₹5,000. If 5/9 of X's amount is equal to 3/7 of Y's amount, how much money does Y have?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given:
x + y = 5000
5/9 of amount x = 3/7 of amount y
According to the formula:
5x/9 = 3y/7
5x/9 = 3y/7
35x = 27y
x : y = 27 : 35
Total parts = 27 + 35 = 62
y = (35/62) × 5000 = ₹2822.58
