Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{A}} + {\text{B}} = 94 \cr
& \therefore \frac{{\text{A}}}{5}:\frac{{\text{B}}}{8} = 3:4 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{\text{A}} \times 8}}{{5 \times {\text{B}}}} = \frac{3}{4} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{B}}} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{5}{8} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{\text{A}}}{{\text{B}}} = \frac{{15}}{{32}} \cr
& {\text{ A}}:{\text{B}} \cr
& {\text{ }}15:32 \cr
& {\text{Let }}15x:32x \cr
& \therefore 15x + 32x = 47x \cr
& \Rightarrow 47x = 94 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 2 \cr
& \therefore {\text{A}} = 2 \times 15 = 30 \cr
& {\text{B}} = 32 \times 2 = 64 \cr} $$
