Question

When planting a forest the number of jambhul tree planted was greater than the number of ashoka tree bye 60 of there are altogether 200 tree of these two type how many jambhul tree were planted

Answer 1

let the number of ashoka tree be x
then,
according to the problem,
Jambhul tree=x+60
Now,
Altogether total trees=x+x+60
But,
As mentioned,
x+x+60=200
So,

2x+60=200
2x=200-60 (By transposing)
2x=140
2x÷2=140÷2
x=70

So,
Ashoka tree= x =70
Jambhul tree= x+60 = 70+60 =130
