Mukat gets 40, Usha gets 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mukat = 5 × Usha

After Mukat gives Usha 16 books ,Usha gets (16 + initial number of books) and Mukat gets (5 × Usha - 16)

Then Mukat = final number of books for Usha

5 × Usha - 16 = Usha + 16

(5 × Usha ) - Usha = 16+16

4 × Usha = 32

Usha = 8 i.e her number of books.

Mukat = 5×8=40.

I HOPE IT'S OK
