Question

a man purchased some eggs at 3 for rupees 5 and sold them at 5 for ₹12 thus,he gained ₹143 in all how many eggs did he purchase

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of eggs purchased = 195

Let no. of eggs as x

12/5*x -5/3*x = 143

(12/5-5/3)x = 143

(36/15 - 25/15)x = 143

11/15x = 143

x = 143* 15/11

= 195

ie, No. of eggs purchased, x = 195
