Solution
40, 27
Explanation:
Let the amount of B is x
Then, A = x + 13
B = x
C = x + 8
and D = `("x" + 19)/2`
Now B + D = 50
x + `("x" + 19)/2` = 50, x = 27
Therefore, A = x + 13 ⇒ 27 + 13 = ₹ 40
and C = x + 8 ⇒ 27 + 8 = ₹ 35

Bhaskar gave the following reasons for his request "Kishen is known for fighting frequently with colleagues of his team. He cannot accept criticism and feels rejected and get hostile. He is overbearing and is generally a bad influence on the team. Sakshi called upon Samir, another project manager and sought further information on Kishen. Samir recalled that a former colleague, Lalit (who was also Kishen's former boss) has made few remarks on Kishen in his appraisal report. In his opinion, Kishen was not fit for further promotion as he was emotionally unstable to work in groups in spite of the fact that he had seven years of work experience. Lalit has described Kishen as to author it alive to work under anyone. Lalit has further told Samir that Kishen had an ailing wife and an old mother, who does not want to stay with his wife.
