To solve this problem, we need to set up equations based on the given information and then solve them.
Let's assume that Bryan has x amount of money. Since John gets twice as much as Bryan, John would have 2x amount of money.
According to the problem, John and Bryan share a total of Rs 1500. Therefore, we can set up the equation: x + 2x = 1500.
Combine like terms: 3x = 1500.
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3: x = 500.
Therefore, Bryan has Rs 500.
