money lost by first person in 2nd race=[((68-6)/2)+6]=37.

his friend lost Rs4 more

so his friend lost 37+4=41 rupees.

ans :

x + x+6 = rs 68


2x + 6 = 68


2x = 68-6


2x = 62


x=31


x is the amt lost in I race


x+ 6 = 31+6=37 is lost in second race


then my friend lost 37 + 4 = 41 Rs

F+S=68;S-F=6;

so S=37; F=31

friend

S+4 =41

Suppose first race loss is x Rs.
Then second race loss is 6Rs. more than first so... it is x+6Rs.
Sum of those two races - x+x+6 = 68 we solve it we get value of x is 31.
My friend lost 4Rs. more than my second race so it is 37+4=41
Ans is 41

My first race loss is x
then second race loss will be x+6
I lost Rs.68 in two races.

so   x+x+6=68
=>x=31

My second race loss is=31+6 =37
My friend lost Rs.4 more than me in the second race
so ans is 37+4=41.

Ans is 41

First Race=x
Second Race= x+6
Total = Rs. 68
x+(x+6)=68
2x+6=68
2x=68-6
2x=62
x=62/2
x=31
First race=Rs. 31
Second race= 31+6= Rs. 37
4 more in second race= 37+4= Rs. 41
