Question

Two persons A and B have 30 sheep between them. They sell them at different prices but each
same amount. If A had sold his at B's price, he would have received Rs. 3,200 and if B had sold his at A's price, he would have received Rs. 2,450. How many sheep belonged to A?​

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

let no.of sheep's at A is x

now no.of sheep's at B is 30-x

let A sells at rate of a

and B sells at rate of b

Given. ax=b(30-x)

bx=3200.b=3200/x

ay=2450.a=2450/y

(2450/y)x=(3200/x)y

$x {}^{2} \div {y}^{2} = 3200 \div 2450$

$x \div y = 8 \div 9$

$x + y = 30$

then x=16
