The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to establish the amounts Mr. Umar and Mr. Gumar have based on the given ratios and conditions. ### Step 1: Define the amounts based on the initial ratio Let the amount with Mr. Umar be \( 3x \) and the amount with Mr. Gumar be \( 4x \), where \( x \) is a common multiplier. ### Step 2: Set up the equation after Mr. Gumar gives Rs. 5 to Mr. Umar After Mr. Gumar gives Rs. 5 to Mr. Umar, the amounts become: - Mr. Umar: \( 3x + 5 \) - Mr. Gumar: \( 4x - 5 \) According to the problem, the new ratio of their amounts becomes \( 4:3 \). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ \frac{3x + 5}{4x - 5} = \frac{4}{3} \] ### Step 3: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fraction Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 3(3x + 5) = 4(4x - 5) \] ### Step 4: Expand both sides Expanding both sides results in: \[ 9x + 15 = 16x - 20 \] ### Step 5: Rearrange the equation to solve for \( x \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 15 + 20 = 16x - 9x \] \[ 35 = 7x \] \[ x = 5 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the original amounts Now that we have \( x \), we can find the original amounts: - Amount with Mr. Umar: \[ 3x = 3 \times 5 = 15 \] - Amount with Mr. Gumar: \[ 4x = 4 \times 5 = 20 \] ### Step 7: Find the amounts after Mr. Umar gives Rs. 5 to Mr. Gumar After Mr. Umar gives Rs. 5 to Mr. Gumar, the amounts become: - Mr. Umar: \( 15 - 5 = 10 \) - Mr. Gumar: \( 20 + 5 = 25 \) ### Step 8: Find the final ratio of their amounts The final ratio of the amounts with Mr. Umar and Mr. Gumar is: \[ \frac{10}{25} = \frac{2}{5} \] ### Final Answer The ratio of the amounts with Mr. Umar and Mr. Gumar after the transactions is \( 2:5 \). ---
