Question

There are some lotus flower in the lake. if one butterfly on each flower,one butterfly id left. if 2 butterfly is on each flowerone flower is left.find no of flower

Answer 1

Assume

the number of butterflies = x

the number of flowers = y

Given that if there is one butterfly for one flower, there is one flower left.

=> y = x + 1

Also, if there are two butterflies on each flower, there is one flower left.

=> y = 2(x - 1)

Thus,

x + 1 = 2x - 2

x - 2x = -2 -1

-x = -3

=> x = 3

The number of butterflies = x = 3.

The number of flowers = y = x + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4.
