14. A and B have certain number of oranges A says to B " If you give me 10 of yours oranges I will [3]
have twice the number of oranges left with you". B replies, " If you give me 10 of your oranges I
will have the same number of oranges as left with you". Find the number of oranges that A and B
have separately.
