Let's take the cost of flower pot at shop A = 2x and the cost of flower pot at shop B = 3x.
Given,
2x + 3x = ₹100
5x = 100
x = 100/5 = 20
Therefore, x =20.
Cost at Shop A = 2x = 2(20) = ₹40
Cost at Shop B = 3x = 3(20) = ₹60
If she has ₹360,
No. of pots she can buy at Shop A = 360/40 = 9 pots
No. of pots she can buy at Shop B = 360/60 = 6 pots
