Step-by-step explanation:

Correct Question

Raju wanted to purchase notebooks and pens by spending an amount of 404, each notebook costs 26 and each pen costs 12

find the maximum number of articles he can purchase?

26B + 12P = 404

As he need to spend complete 404

so 404 - 26B  should be divisible by 12

404 - 26B

= 33*12 + 8 - 26B

= (P + x)*12 + 8 - 26B

12x + 8 - 26B = 0  (x

=> 6x + 4 - 13B = 0

x= 8 & B = 4  satisfies this equation

P + x = 33

=> P = 25

25 Pens cost = 25 * 12 = Rs 300

4 Book cost = 4* 26 = Rs 104

Total Spent = Rs 404

25 + 4 = 29

If complete money is not necessary  to spend

then 33 Pens costing 33* 12 =  Rs 396 can be purchased
