2 persons have the same no of marbles at starting.after that 1st person gains 20 marbles from 2nd..n later 1st loses 2/3rd of wat he had... now 2nd has 4 times as many marbles as 1st...wat r the initial no of marbles tat each of them had?

• If initially both have x no of marbles, then
  
  After first game , they had x+20 and x-20 marbles.
  After second game, they have
  (x+20)/3 and (x-20) +2*(x+20)/3
  
  as per given condition
  4*(x+20)/3 = (x-20) +2*(x+20)/3
  
  solving this , we get
  x= 100 marbles
