1.	interest. How much money did shl mOCLL13. Vijay had some bananas, and he divided them into two lots A and B. He sold thefirst lot at the rate of Rs 2 for 3 bananas and the second lot at the rate fRe I per banana, and got a total of Rs 400. If he had sold the first lot at the rate oRe 1 per banana, and the second lot at the rate of Rs 4 for 5 bananas, his tolcollection would have been Rs 460. Find the total number of bananas he had
Answer» He soldall the first lot at the rate of 2 for 3 andthe second lot and rate of 1 per banana and got a total of 400 (A/3)2 + B = 400 2/3A + B = 400 ------- (i) If he had sold the first lot at the rate of 1 per banana and the second lot at the rate of 4 for 5 banana his collection would have been for 60 A + (B/5)4 = 60 A + 4/5B = 60 --------- (ii)2/3A + B = 400 ------- (i) x 3/2 A + 4/5B = 60 --------- (ii) A + 3/2B = 600 --------- (iii) Subtract (iii) from (ii) -7/10B = -540 B = 771(3/7) A + 4/5(771 3/7)= 60 --------- (ii) A = -557(1/7) Since the value of B is a fraction and the value of A is negative, the problem has no solution

If he had sold the first lot at the rate oRe 1 per banana, and the second lot at the rate of Rs 4 for 5 bananas, his tolcollection would have been Rs 460. Find the total number of bananas he had

Answer»

He soldall the first lot at the rate of 2 for 3 andthe second lot and rate of 1 per banana and got a total of 400

(A/3)2 + B = 400

2/3A + B = 400 ------- (i)

If he had sold the first lot at the rate of 1 per banana and the second lot at the rate of 4 for 5 banana his collection would have been for 60

A + (B/5)4 = 60

A + 4/5B = 60 --------- (ii)2/3A + B = 400 ------- (i) x 3/2

A + 4/5B = 60 --------- (ii)

A + 3/2B = 600 --------- (iii) Subtract (iii) from (ii)

-7/10B = -540

B = 771(3/7)

A + 4/5(771 3/7)= 60 --------- (ii)

A = -557(1/7)

Since the value of B is a fraction and the value of A is negative, the problem has no solution
