Subramaniam and Naidu donate some money in a Relief Fund. The amount paid by Naidu is Rs 125 more than that of Subramaniam. If the total money paid by them is Rs 975, find the amount of money donated by Subramaniam.
Let the amount of money donated by Subramaniam be x.
So, the amount paid by Naidu is= (x + 125)
According to question,
x + x + 125 = 975
⇒ 2x = 975 – 125 = 850
⇒ x = 850/2 = 425
Thus, ₹425 is donated by Subramaniam.
Correct answer is Rs 425
