If we put 100 rupees in A we will get 154 rupees
Or simply Awins (for 100rupees )- 154 rupees.
Also if we put 100 rupees in B ,we get 250 rupees
Or Bwins (for 100rupees ) - 250 rupees
Each time either A or B only win.
So if we put both in A and B 100 each ,if A comes we loss 46 rupees.If B wins always profit.But if A win means loss,that's the question.
So the question is what's the money we need to put in A and B so that we don't loss any money,but win some money each time or a small profit each time.So what's the value in A and B we need to put but don't have any loss but a small profit each time.

We bet amount x on outcome A
We also bet amount y on outcome B

If A, then the condition for profit is x+y < x*1.54 (can you see this?)
Simplifying y < x*0.54
EDIT: The amount of profit is given by x*0.54-y

Can you do the same for B ???

Have you been drawing graphs of inequalities in your school work recently? Have you got any ideas yourself about how to proceed?
