Answer» The share of A when Rs 25 are divided between A and B so that A gets Rs. 8 more than B is Rs 16.50. Let us assume B share be x As per the condition in the question A share be x + 8 Then, x + (x + 8) = 25 x + x + 8 = 25 2x + 8 = 25 2x = 25 – 8 2x = 17 x = 17/2 x = 8.5 So, A gets x + 8 = 8.5 + 8 = Rs 16.5

Answer»

The share of A when Rs 25 are divided between A and B so that A gets Rs. 8 more than B is Rs 16.50.

Let us assume B share be x

As per the condition in the question A share be x + 8

Then,

x + (x + 8) = 25

x + x + 8 = 25

2x + 8 = 25

2x = 25 – 8

2x = 17

x = 17/2

x = 8.5

So, A gets x + 8

= 8.5 + 8

= Rs 16.5
