Question

There are as many four-legged chairs and as many four-legged tables as workers in the office of Yamraj, and as many three-legged stools as four-legged almirahs. If the number of stools be one more than number of workers and the total number of legs be 585,then what is the number of workers in the office?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of workers are 34

Step-by-step explanation:

4 legged chairs = 4 legged tables = number of workers.

3 legged stools = 4 legged almirahs

No. of stools = 1 + no. of workers

Total no. of legs = 585, Let the total number of workers= x.

2x + x × 4 + (x+1) 3 + (x+1) 4 = 585....x = 34.

Thus number of workers are 34
