      A sum of Rs. 36,800 was divided between 'A' and 'B'

      such that the amount received by 'B' was 30% more than that by 'A'. If 'A' and 'B' spent 10% and 25% of the respective amounts received by them, then find the sum of amounts spent by 'A' and 'B' together.
      A Rs. 6,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 6,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 6,800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 6,700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 7,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the amount received by β€˜A’ = Rs. β€˜10x’ Then amount received by β€˜B’ = 10x Γ— 1.3 = Rs. β€˜13x’ we have, 10x + 13x = 36800 So, x = 36800 Γ· 23 = 1600 So, amount received by β€˜A’ = 10 Γ— 1600 = Rs. 16,000
      Amount received by β€˜B’ = 13 Γ— 1600 = Rs. 20,800 Amount spent by β€˜A’ = 16000 Γ— 0.1 = Rs. 1,600
      Amount spent by β€˜B’ = 20800 Γ— 0.25 = Rs. 5,200 So, required sum = 1600 + 5200 = Rs. 6,800
