The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to set up the equations based on the information given in the question. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let: - \( a \) = A's money in Rs. - \( b \) = B's money in Rs. ### Step 2: Formulate the Inequality from the First Statement The first statement says, "Five times A's money added to B's money is more than Rs. 51." This can be expressed as: \[ 5a + b > 51 \] ### Step 3: Formulate the Equation from the Second Statement The second statement says, "Three times A's money minus B's money is Rs. 21." This can be expressed as: \[ 3a - b = 21 \] ### Step 4: Solve the Second Equation for \( b \) From the equation \( 3a - b = 21 \), we can isolate \( b \): \[ b = 3a - 21 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( b \) in the First Inequality Now, substitute \( b \) in the first inequality \( 5a + b > 51 \): \[ 5a + (3a - 21) > 51 \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Inequality Combine like terms: \[ 5a + 3a - 21 > 51 \] \[ 8a - 21 > 51 \] ### Step 7: Add 21 to Both Sides To isolate \( 8a \), add 21 to both sides: \[ 8a > 51 + 21 \] \[ 8a > 72 \] ### Step 8: Divide by 8 Now, divide both sides by 8 to solve for \( a \): \[ a > 9 \] ### Step 9: Substitute \( a \) Back to Find \( b \) Now that we have \( a > 9 \), we can substitute this back into the equation for \( b \): \[ b = 3a - 21 \] Since \( a > 9 \): \[ b = 3(9) - 21 = 27 - 21 = 6 \] Thus, we can conclude: \[ b > 6 \] ### Final Result We have found that: - \( a > 9 \) - \( b > 6 \)
