AI explanation

Let Ajay's and Raj's initial amounts be A and R, making the equation A plus R equals 1050. The problem states A minus 150 equals R, and substituting R gives A minus 150 equals 1050 minus A. Solving 2A equals 1200 gives A equals 600 and R equals 450. The ratio of their initial amounts is 600 to 450, which simplifies to 4:3.
