Explanation : Let the income of A and B are 3x and 2x and corresponding
expenditure be 5y Rs and 3y Rs.
3x -5y = 2500 ... (i)
and 2x - 3y = 2500 ... (ii)
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
x = 5000 Rs and y = 2500 Rs.
Expenditure Of B = 3y =3 x 2500 = 7500 Rs
Explanation : (B) Let the number be x.
⇒ x = 899q + 63 where q is the quotient.
⇒ x = 899q + 58 + 5
= 29(31q + 2) + 5
Hence, when x is divided by 29, the remainder is 5.
