@surjithayer can u help me?

Answer 2

let the principal in account A=x
then principal in account B=x+600
Let time=t
\[interest A1=\frac{ x*4*t }{100}=180 ...(1)\]
\[Interest A2=\frac{ \left( x+600 \right)*5*t }{100 }=375 ...(2)\]
divide (2) by (1)
\[\frac{ \left( x+600 \right)*5*t }{100 }*\frac{ 100 }{ 4xt }=\frac{ 375 }{ 100 }\]
\[\frac{ 5x+3000 }{4x }=\frac{ 25 }{12 }\]
solve and get the value of x
