Answer» Answer: Neha:84 Sunil:60 Step-by-step explanation:Let neha has 'x' apples and sunil has 'y' apples If sunil gives 12 apples to neha Neha is left with x+12 apples and sunil is left with y-12 applesNow neha has double the number of apples there with sunilSo x+12 = 2(y-12) x = 2y-36 .......(I) If neha gives 12 apples to sunilNow neha has x-12 apples and sunil has y+12 apples Now they both have same number of applesSo x-12 = y+12 x = y+24 ........ (II)Solving I and II 2y-36 = y+24 y =60Since x = y+24 x = 60+24 x = 84 So neha has 84 apples and sunil has 60 apples |
