    Patient A receive 150 milligrams and Patient B receive 50 milligrams.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A patient A receives 3 times the amount of certain medicines patient B.

    Let us suppose x milligram of medicine receive by B

    Amount of medicine receive by A = 3x

    Total doses receive by A and B is 200 milligrams.

    Therefore, A+B=200

    3x+x=200

    Solve for x

    4x=200

    x=50 Milligrams

    Thus, Patient A receive 150 milligrams and Patient B receive 50 milligrams.
