Question

a man purchased some eggs at 3 for Rs 5 and sold them at 5 for Rs 12 does he gain rupees 143 in all how many hours did you purchase

Answer 1

hey mate here is ur answer... ⤵⤵⤵⤵

Let the number of eggs purchased be x.

Given: C.P of 3 eggs= Rs 5

⇒C.P of x eggs= Rs
5/3x

and S.P of 5 eggs= Rs 12.

so, S.P of x eggs = Rs
12/5x

Now profit = S.P - C.P

⇒143 = 12x/5-5/3x

⇒143 = 36x-25x/15 = 11/15x

⇒143×15/11 = 195

so
Hence the man purchased 195 eggs.
