Mr kasam runs a small business of making earthen pots. he makes certain number of pots on daily basis. production cost of each is rs 40 more than 10 times total number of pots, he makes in one day. if production cost of all pots per day is rs 600,find production cost of one pot and number of pots he makes per day

Answer»

Here is the answer

Let Kasam makes 'X' eathen pots PER DAY .
Then the cost of each earthen pots is Rs.(10x + 40 )

From the given condition,

x(10x + 40) = 600

Therefore,

10x^2 +40x - 600 = 0

Dividing by 10 ,

x^2 + 4x - 60 = 0

x^2 + 10x - 6x - 60 = 0

x(x + 10) - 6(x + 10) = 0

(x - 6)(x + 10) = 0

x = -10 or x = 6

But the number of earthen pots cannot be negative.

So, x = -10 is not acceptable.

So,
x = 6

The cost of each earthen pots
= 10x + 40

= 10(6) + 40

= 60 + 40

= 100

Final answer

He makes 6 earthen pots per day and cost of each earthen pots is Rs 100
