Rs1000 was distributed equally among a certain number of people. if there were 5 more people , each would have received RS 10 less .among how many people was the amount distributed?find it

The amount was distributed among 20 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of people be x and y be amount received by each individual.

so,

                     xy = 1000 ...........................................(1)

 and,

                   (x+5) (y-10) = 1000..............................(2)

Solving,

                   (x+5) ( -10)= 1000

             or, (x+5) ( ) = 1000

             or, (x+5) (1000-10x) = 1000x

             or, x= 20

And,

              y = 50

Hence there were 20 people when the amount was distributed.
