Ajay and Vijay have some marbles. If Ajay gives 5 marbles to Vijay, he would have twice the number of marbles Vijay would have. If Vijay Gives 15 marbles to Ajay, Ajay would have 8 times the number of marbles Vijay would have. Find the number of marbles with Vijay.

a) 20
b) 30
c) 25
d) 35

• Let Ajay marbles = a;
  and vijay marbles = v;
  a/c to first statement
  a-5= 2(v+5)
  a-2v = 15---------------(1)
  again
  a+15= 8 (v-15)
  a-8v = -135 ------------(2)
  
  eq. (1) - (2)
  
  6v = 150
  v=25
  a= 65
  
  so vijay have 25 marbles.
