or

(6)
20 m cloth for
460
or
38 m cloth for
912​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 . 5 cakes for 950

2. 20 m cloth for 460

Answer 2

Answer:

1. 5 cakes for 950 because price of 1 cake in the first case is

420/2 = 210 and in second case it is 950/5 = 190 which is 20 less than 210

2. 20m cloth for 460 because cloth per metre here is 23 and in second case it is 24. Hence it costs 1 less than 24
