Question

In a garden there are mango trees and apple trees. The number of mang trees is twenty seven more than twice the number of apple trees. Find th number of mango trees, if the total number of both the types of trees is 150.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of trees =48+60+96=204

Each of the trees are exactly divisible by 12, i.e. HCF of 48,60,96.

∴ 12204=17 rows are possible.

Answer 2

$Let \: \: \: the \: \: Mango \: \: \: trees \: \: \: be \\ = 27 + 2x$

$Let \: the \: apple \: trees \: be \: x$

$So , \: 27 + 2x + x = 150$

$3x = 150 - 27$

$3x = 123$

$x = \frac{123}{3}$

$x = 41$

$Mango \: trees = 27 + 2x$

$= 27 + 2(41)$

$= 27 + 82$

$= 169$

$41 , 169 \: \: are \: Answer$
