    Question

    Initially Ram had ₹4 with him and Shyam had ₹7 with him. Jatin gave each of Ram and Shyam an equal amount of money and after that the amounts Ram and Shyam had were in the ratio 7 : 9. How much money (in ₹) did Jatin give to each of Ram and Shyam?

    A.

    6.00

    B.

    6.50

    C.

    5.50

    D.

    7.00

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Money Ram had initially = ₹4

    Money Shyam had initially = ₹7

    Ratio of money of Ram and Shyam after Jatin gave them money = 7:9

    Solution:

    Let the money Jatin gave them be x

    Then

    Ratio of money of Ram and Shyam

    =4+x7+x=79\frac{4 +x}{7+x} = \frac{7}{9}​​

    = 9(4+x) = 7(7+x)

    = 36+9x = 49+7x

    = 9x-7x = 49-36

    2x = 13

    x = 132 \frac{13}{2}​ = ₹6.50
