Question

In three hours Meena makes one basket more than
what Reena makes in two hours. In five hours, Meena
makes one basket less than what Reena makes in four hours. how many baskets can meena make in an hour?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

no. of basket meena can make in 1hr is x

no of basket reena can make in 1hr is y

therefore 3x-2y=1 (1)

4y-5x=1 (2)

solving this equation x = 3 and y = 4

so meena can make 3 basket in 1 hr and reena can make 4 basket in 1 hr

HOPE THIS HELPS !!

Answer 2

Find: Number of baskets can meena make in one hour

solution:

Let ,

∴number of Baskets meena can make in one hour = x

∴number of baskets made by reena in one hour = y

According to question

In case 1,

Number of baskets made by reena in two hours be= 2y

And, number of baskets made by meena in three hours = 3x

we get equation as,

∴ $3x-2y=1$                               (1)

Multiply by 2 in equatiion (1)

$6x-4y=2$                                     (2)

In case 2:

Number of baskets made by meena in five hours = 5x

And, number of basket made by reena in 4 hours = 4y

we get equation as,

∴  $-5x+4y=1$                                (3)

Solving Equation 2 and 3 Simultaneously;

we get, $x=3$

Hence, Meena makes 3 baskets in one hour.
