Answer 1

Answer:

12000 is the answer okay

Answer 2

NOTE: With the given data the said options shall never match.

Given,

The S.P of one thousand apples$\[ = 5000\]$

The number of apples lost in packing$\[ = 20\]$

To find,

The money received by the farmer in the end.

Solution,

Know that by using the unitary method the cost of one apple can be calculated.

The cost of one apple is

$\[\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow \frac{{5000}}{{1000}}\\ \Rightarrow 5\end{array}\]$

The cost of twenty apples lost in packing

$\[\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow 5 \times 20\\ \Rightarrow 100\end{array}\]$

Therefore, the amount received after the transition is complete

$\[\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow 5000 - 100\\ \Rightarrow 4900\end{array}\]$

Hence, the final amount received is Rs$\[4900\]$.
