Answer : 4. "5"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 5 Explanation: If Vijay gives 'x' marbles to Ajay then Vijay and Ajay would have V - x and A + x marbles.V - x = A + x --- (1)If Ajay gives 2x marbles to Vijay then Ajay and Vijay would have A - 2x and V + 2x marbles.V + 2x - (A - 2x) = 30 => V - A + 4x = 30 --- (2)From (1) we have V - A = 2xSubstituting V - A = 2x in (2)6x = 30 => x = 5.
