There are two examination halls P and Q. If 10 students shifted P to Q, then the number of students will be equal in both the examination halls. If 20 students shifted from Q to P, then the students of P would be doubled to the students of Q. The numbers of students would be in P and Q, respectively are
A) 60, 40
B) 70, 50
C) 80, 60
D) 100, 80
Correct answer:
D) 100, 80
Description for Correct answer:
Let number of students in examination halls P and Q is x and y, respectively.
Then, as per the first condition,
x - 10 = y + 10
= x - y = 20 ...(i)
As per the second condition,
\( \Large x + 20 = 2 \left(y - 20\right) \)
=> x + 20 = 2y - 40
=> x - 2y = -60 ...(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get
-y + 2y = 20 + 60
=> y = 80
Putting the value of y in Eq. (i), we get
x - 80 = 20 => x =100
Hence, number of students in examination halls P and Q is 100 and 80, respectively.
