Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is (B) 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Let the total no. of oranges the person has initially = x

Thus,

• He sells oranges to the first customer = x /2 + 1

• He sells apples to the second customer = 1/3 { x - ( x/2 +1) } + 1 = (x+4) / 6

• He sells apples to the third customer = 1 / 5 { x - [ (x / 2) + 1) + (x+4) / 6 ] + 1 = (x + 10) /15

∴, According To the Question :

x = (x +2) / 2 + (x+4) / 6 + (x + 10) /15 +3

=> x = {15(x +2)+5(x+4) +2 (x + 10) + 90} / 30

=> 30x = 22x +160

=> 8x = 160

∴ x = 20 .
