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

Vijay claimed that the large dent in the fender of the company-owned vehicle he had borrowed was caused by the careless actions of another motorist, who backed into the car when it was parked in a public garage.
