The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will set up equations based on the statements made by Astha and Saumya. Let's denote the number of oranges Astha has as \( X \) and the number of oranges Saumya has as \( Y \). ### Step 1: Set up the first equation based on Astha's statement. Astha says, "If you give me 10 of your oranges, I will have twice the number of oranges left with you." This can be translated into the equation: \[ X + 10 = 2(Y - 10) \] Expanding this gives: \[ X + 10 = 2Y - 20 \] Rearranging it, we get: \[ X - 2Y = -30 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 2: Set up the second equation based on Saumya's statement. Saumya replies, "If you give me 10 of your oranges, I will have the same number of oranges as you have left." This translates to: \[ Y + 10 = X - 10 \] Rearranging this gives: \[ X - Y = 20 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the system of equations. Now we have two equations: 1. \( X - 2Y = -30 \) 2. \( X - Y = 20 \) We can solve these equations simultaneously. From Equation 2, we can express \( X \) in terms of \( Y \): \[ X = Y + 20 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( X \) in Equation 1. Now, substitute \( X \) in Equation 1: \[ (Y + 20) - 2Y = -30 \] This simplifies to: \[ 20 - Y = -30 \] Rearranging gives: \[ -Y = -30 - 20 \] \[ -Y = -50 \] Thus: \[ Y = 50 \] ### Step 5: Find \( X \) using the value of \( Y \). Now substitute \( Y = 50 \) back into Equation 2: \[ X - 50 = 20 \] So: \[ X = 70 \] ### Conclusion: Astha has \( 70 \) oranges and Saumya has \( 50 \) oranges. ### Summary of the Solution: - Astha's oranges \( X = 70 \) - Saumya's oranges \( Y = 50 \)
