Total number of coins that Usha and Zara have
= 52 u + 40 u
= 92 u
After Usha gives to Zara, both of them will have the same number of coins.
The total number of coins that Usha and Zara have remains unchanged.
Number of coins that each of them will have
= 92 u ÷ 2
= 46 u
Number of coins that Usha gives to Zara
= 52 u - 46 u
= 6 u
6 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 6 = 5
Total number of coins that three of them have
= 92 u + 13 u
= 105 u
Average number of coins that each of them have
= 105 u ÷ 3
= 35 u
= 35 x 5
= 175
Answer(s): 175
