Answer:
500 Bananas
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Say node A has A bananas
& Node B has B bananas
Amount received = 2A/3 + B = 400
=> 2A + 3B = 1200 - eq 1
A + 4B/5 = 460
=> 5A + 4B = 2300 - eq 2
3* eq2 - 4 * eq 1
=> 15A - 8A = 6900 - 4800
=> 7A = 2100
=> A = 300
2* 300 + 3B = 1200
=> B = 200
Total Bananas = 300 + 200 = 500
⚡⚡Here is the answer⚡⚡
Let the number of bananas in lots A and B be x and y, respectively
CASE. 1. Cost of the first lot at the rate of Rs.2 for 3 bananas + Cost of the second lot at the rate of Rs. 1 per bananas = Amount received
=> 2/3 x + y = 400
=> 2x + 3y = 1200
CASE. 2. Cost of the first lot at the rate of Rs. 1 per banana + Cost of the second lot at the rate of Rs. 4 for 5 bananas =Amount received
x+4/5y=460
=> 5x+4y=2300
On multiplying, we get,
x=300
Now putting the value of Eq(i) we get
y=200
:-Total no. of bananas=Number of bananas in lot A + Number of bananas in lot B =x+y
=300+200=500
Hence, he had 500 bananas.
