Question

the quantities of wheat produced last year and this year are in the ratio 7:10. If this year the production of the crop is 7290 tonnes more than that of the last year, why is the amount of wheat produced during this year.

Answer 1

Let the production of last year be 7x
Then,the production of wheat this year will be 10x
Increasement in production=10x-7x
=3x
Production of wheat increased this year=7290tonnes
3x=7290tonnes
x=7290tonnes/3
x=2430tonnes
Therefore, production of this year=10x
=10×2430
=24300tonnes. Ans.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the production of last year be 7x

Then,the production of wheat this year will be 10x

Increasement in production=10x-7x

=3x

Production of wheat increased this year=7290tonnes

3x=7290tonnes

x=7290tonnes/3

x=2430tonnes

Therefore, production of this year=10x

=10×2430

=24300tonnes. Ans.
