Question:
There are two examinations rooms A and B. If 10 students are sent from A to B, then the number of students in each room is the same. If 20 candidates are sent from B to A, then the number of students in A is double the number of students in B. The number of students in room A is:

[A].

20

[B].

80

[C].

100

[D].

200

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the number of students in rooms A and B be x and y respectively.

Then, x – 10 = y + 10      x – y = 20 …. (i)

     and x + 20 = 2(y – 20)      x – 2y = -60 …. (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80.

The required answer A = 100.
