When planting a forest, the number of jambhul trees planted was greater than the number of ashoka trees by 60. If there are altogether 200 trees of these two types, how many jambhul trees were planted?

Answer»

Let the number of jambhul trees planted be x.

∴ Number of ashoka trees = x – 60 

According to the given condition, x + x – 60 = 200

∴ 2x = 200 + 60 

∴ 2x = 260

∴ x = 260/2 = 130

∴ 130 jambhul trees were planted.

(vi) (5x – 10) – (x2 + 10x – 5)

= 5x -10 – x2 – 10x +5
= -x2 + 5x – 10x – 10 + 5
= -x2 + (5-10)x – 5
= -x2 – 5x – 5
