Question

The members of a society decided to plant 600 trees in their compound. The number of Ashoka trees twice the number of Peepal trees and the number of Mango trees are 100 less than four times the number of Peepal trees .Find the number of Peepal trees.​

Answer 1

Total trees=600

Let no.of peepal trees be x

So no. Of Ashoka trees is 2x

And no.of mango trees is 4x-100

According to question

600=x+2x+4x-100

600=7x-100

600+100=7x

700=7x

100=x

Henceforth the number of peepal trees is 100
