Answer:

Neha has 84 apples, and Sunil has 60 apples.

Explanation:

Given:

  • Neha and Sunil have some apples. Neha says to Sunil, "If you give me 12 of your apples, I will have twice the number of apples left with you". Sunil replies, "if you give me 12 of your apples I will have the same number of apples left with you". Find the the number of apples with Neha and Sunil separately.

Let's say Neha has N apples and Sunil has S apples.

From Neha's statement, we know that if Sunil gives her 12 apples, she will have twice as many apples as Sunil has left. So, we can set up the equation:

N + 12 = 2(S - 12)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

N + 12 = 2S - 24

N = 2S - 36

Now, let's consider Sunil's statement. If Neha gives him 12 apples, they will have the same number of apples. So, we can set up the equation:

S + 12 = N - 12

Substituting the expression for N from the previous equation, we get:

S + 12 = (2S - 36) - 12

S + 12 = 2S - 48

S = 60

Now that we know Sunil has 60 apples, we can find Neha's number of apples:

N = 2S - 36

N = 2(60) - 36

N = 120 - 36

N = 84

So, Neha has 84 apples, and Sunil has 60 apples.
