Binod bought 75 sacks of wheat in the Market wheras Amar bought 45 sacks of wheat. At home , they split the sacks equally. Chetan had paid Rs 1400 for the wheat. How much did binod and amar paid during their purchase, considering equal split of the sacks. How much was the cost of wheat? How much money binod and amar have to pay or recieve to balance out their contribution.

Answer 1

Amar and binod bought 75 and 45 sacks of wheat , total 120 sacks.
Now they return back to home and devided equally means each received 40 sacks of wheat . in question given that chetan pay 1400 for his part which he receive . here chetan receive 40 sacks of wheat. it means

40 sacks of wheat price is 1400 rs now ,

1 sack of wheat price 1400/ 40 = 35 rs
binod bought 45 sacks of wheat it means he spend 35× 45 = 1575 rs
now amar bought 75 sacks of wheat then he spends 75×35 = 2625 rs

now cost of wheat = 35×120 = 4200rs
now chetan pay 1225 to amr and 175 pay to binod fir equal split if the sacks.....
