Answer:
20 and 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of mango trees and chikoo trees be 2x and 3x respectively. When 5 more trees are planted, mango trees are 2x + 5 and chikoo trees are 3x + 5. Given, their ratio is 5 : 7.
⇒ (2x + 5)/(3x + 5) = 5/7
⇒ 7(2x + 5) = 5(3x + 5)
⇒ 14x + 35 = 15x + 25
⇒ 10 = x
Hence,
Mango tress = 2x = 2(10) = 20
Chikoo trees = 3x = 3(10) = 30
