B and C the same number of marbles they already have to each of them.
then, B gave C and A the same no. of marbles they have, then C gave
A and B the same no. of marbles they have. At the
end A,B,and C have equal no. of marbles.
(i) If x,y,z are the marbles initially with A,B,C respectively.
then the no of marbles B have at the end
(a) 2(x-y-z) (b) 4(x-y-z) etc.

4/5 th of its actuval velocity the car reaches B 45min later to the
actual time. If the car engine fails ofter travelling
45km, the car reaches the destination B 36min late to the actual
time , what is the initial velocity of car and what is the distance between A and B in km
ans) 20 & 130.

4. A person has Rs 100/- in his pocket, he can as 25 pencils or 15books.
He kept 15% of the money for travelling expenses and purchased 5
