    Directions: (11 - 15)
    On her birthday, Seema decided to donate some money to children of an orphanage home. If there were 8 children less, everyone would have got Rs 10 more. However, if there were 16 children more, everyone would have got Rs 10 less. Let the number children be x and the amount distributed by Seema for one child by y (in Rs)
    Based on the information given above, answer the following question :
    The equations in terms x and y are

    A) \[5x-4y=40,\text{ }5x-8y=-80\]

    B) \[5x-4y=40,\text{ }5x-8y=80\]

    C) \[5x-4y=40,\text{ }5x+8y=-80\]

    D) \[5x+4y=40,\text{ }5x-8y=-80\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here \[\left( x-8 \right)\left( y+10 \right)=xy\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,xy+10x-8y-80=xy\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,5x-4y=40\] Also \[\left( x+16 \right)\left( y-10 \right)=xy\] \[\Rightarrow xy-10x+16y-160=xy\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,5x-8y=-80\]
