1.	489. Robin says, "If Jai gives me 40, he will have haltas much as Atul, but if Atul gives me 40, then thethree of us will have the same amount." What is thetotal amount of money that Robin, Jai and Atul havebetween them?(a) * 240(b) * 320(c) * 360(d) 420
Answer» Clearly, we have : J - 40 =1/2A ...(i) A - 40 = J ...(ii) A - 40 = R + 40 ...(iii) Solving (i) and.(ii) simultaneously, we get : J = 120 and A= 160. Putting A 160 in (iii), we get R = 80. Total money = R + J + A= Rs.(80 + 120 + 160) = Rs.360

Answer»

Clearly, we have :

J - 40 =1/2A ...(i)

A - 40 = J ...(ii)

A - 40 = R + 40 ...(iii)

Solving (i) and.(ii) simultaneously, we get : J = 120 and A= 160.

Putting A 160 in (iii), we get R = 80.

Total money = R + J + A= Rs.(80 + 120 + 160) = Rs.360
