Answer:

X = 96 and Y = 32

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

X amount = 4%

Y amount = 8%

Now based on this the equation is

r = (4x + 8y) ÷ (x+y)

Now put 5% at the rate place

The x and y is

5 = (4x + 8y) ÷ (x + y)

5x + 5y = 4x + 8y

x = 3y

Now looking the options as we can see that if X = 96 so Y would be 32

Therefore X = 96 and Y = 32
