Answer:
There is a potential for conflict
If John has x marbles, Jivanti will have 45-x marbles.
If both of them lost 5 marbles each, John will have x-5 and Jivanti will have 45-x-5 ie 40-x
Product of the number of marbles left is 124
(x-5)(40-x)=124
x^2-45x+324=0
x^2-36x-9x+324=0
(x-36)(x-9)=0
x=36 or 9
The number of marbles with them is 36 and 9
