Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 60 Given: Sugarcane planted in = 1/3 of farm Groundnut planted in = 1/4 of farm Jowar planted in = 25 acres Remaining farm area = 25 acres Calculations: Let the total farm area be T acres ⇒ (T/3) + (T/4) + 25 = T ⇒ (4T + 3T)/12 + 25 = T ⇒ 7T/12 + 25 = T ⇒ (12T - 7T)/12 = 25 ⇒ 5T/12 = 25 ⇒ T/12 = 5 ⇒ T = 5 × 12 ⇒ T = 60 acres ∴ The total farm area is 60 acres |
