• I lost Rs 68 in two races. My loss in the second race is Rs 6 more than my lose in the first race.
  so I lost Rs 31 in first race and Rs 37 in 2nd race.
  My friend lost Rs 4 more than me in the second race.
  My friend lost 37+4= Rs 41 in the second race.

• let first loss=x
  second loss=y
  x+y=68 eq(1)
  y=x+6 eq(2)
  put value of eq(2) in eq(1)
  x+x+6=68
  2x=68-6
  2x=62
  x=62/2=31
  y=31+6=37
  amount lost by friend in the second race=37+4=41
