Question:- A farmer earns a profit of ₹2 on every egg sold and incurs a loss of ₹1 on every egg broken. One day it sells 200 eggs a makes a net profit of ₹ 370 . How many eggs were broken on that day ??

Given:-

Rs 2 for each egg

Loss of Rs 1 for per egg

Solution:-

200 eggs and he got Rs 370

The amount he'll get if all eggs were good is 200×2

Rs 400, but he got 30 loss

We've to check the closest multiples of 5 for that

195 isn't correct

But

If he sells 190 eggs, he'll have Rs 380

380-370=10

Therefore 10 eggs Were broken,and he had the rest 190 eggs with
