Question

when planting a forest,the number of jambhul trees planted was greater than the number of asoka trees by 60.If there are altogether 200 trees of these two types,how many jambhul trees were planted?

Answer 1

Let number of Ashoka trees be x
So, the number of Jambhul trees= x+60

According to the question,
x+(x+60)=200
2x+60=200
2x=200-60
2x=140
x=70

and x+60=70+60
=130

Therefore there are 70 ashoka trees and 130 Jambhul trees.
