Step-by-Step Solution
Let Bharat get ₹, so Asha gets ₹. Then → → . Check: 525 + 675 = 1200 and 675 − 525 = 150. The trap 675 is Asha's share, and 600 is what an equal split would give — the ₹150 gap was ignored.
Answer: A) 525
₹1,200 is shared between Asha and Bharat so that Asha receives ₹150 more than Bharat. How many rupees does Bharat receive?

Key idea: Translating word problems
Three steps:
1. **Pick a variable** for the unknown.
2. **Translate the words** into operations (sum, difference, product, quotient).
3. **Solve, then state the answer in the original units.**
Word clues: 'is/equals' = '='. 'sum' = +. 'difference' = −. 'product' = ×. 'quotient/per' = ÷. 'twice' = ×2. 'one more than' = +1. 'half of' = .
