      D 480 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Amount received by 'A' = 1350 × (5/10) = Rs. 675 Amount received by 'B' = 1350 × (2/10) = Rs. 270 Let Amount given by 'A' to 'B' be Rs. 'x' According to the question, 2 × (675 - x) = 270 + x Or, 1350 - 2x = 270 + x Or, 1350 - 270 = x + 2x Or, 1080 = 3x Or, x = 360
