The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote Sarah's amount as \( S \) and Priya's amount as \( P \). ### Step 1: Set up the equation based on the given information According to the problem, we have: \[ \frac{3}{5} S = \frac{6}{7} P \] ### Step 2: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 3 \cdot 7 S = 6 \cdot 5 P \] This simplifies to: \[ 21 S = 30 P \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation to express \( S \) in terms of \( P \) Now, we can express \( S \) in terms of \( P \): \[ S = \frac{30}{21} P = \frac{10}{7} P \] ### Step 4: Use the total amount given in the problem We know that the total amount between Sarah and Priya is Rs 3570: \[ S + P = 3570 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( S \) in the total amount equation Substituting \( S \) from Step 3 into this equation: \[ \frac{10}{7} P + P = 3570 \] ### Step 6: Combine the terms To combine the terms, we can express \( P \) as \( \frac{7}{7} P \): \[ \frac{10}{7} P + \frac{7}{7} P = 3570 \] This gives us: \[ \frac{17}{7} P = 3570 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( P \) To find \( P \), multiply both sides by \( \frac{7}{17} \): \[ P = 3570 \times \frac{7}{17} \] ### Step 8: Calculate \( P \) Calculating the right-hand side: \[ P = 3570 \div 17 \times 7 \] First, calculate \( 3570 \div 17 \): \[ 3570 \div 17 = 210 \] Now multiply by 7: \[ P = 210 \times 7 = 1470 \] ### Conclusion Thus, Priya has Rs 1470.
