One-sixth of the trees in a garden are jamun trees, half of the trees are Eucalyptus trees and the remaining are peepal trees.  If the number of jamun trees is 6, how many peepal tree are there in the garden? 

One-sixth of the trees in a garden are jamun trees, half of the trees are Eucalyptus trees and the remaining are peepal trees.  If the number of jamun trees is 6, how many peepal tree are there in the garden?  Correct Answer 12

CALCULATION:

Let the total number of trees be x

Number of Jamun tress = x ÷ 6

Number of Eucalyptus trees = x ÷ 2

Number of Peepal trees = x - x/6 - x/2 

⇒ ( 12x - 2x - 6x )/12 = x/3

According to the question

⇒ x/6 = 6 

⇒ x = 36 

Number of peepal trees  = 36/3 = 12

The number of Jamun tress is 6 and  one-sixth of the trees in a garden are jamun trees.

∴  Total number of trees = 6 × 6 = 36

So , Number of Eucalyptus trees  = 36/2 = 18

The Number are Peepal trees  = 36 - 18 - 6 = 12

Manja, or the glass-coated string used for flying kites, not only poses threat to humans, animals and birds but also to trees. A study by the country's oldest botanical garden has revealed that it poses a great threat to trees. But how can a snapped string struck in a tree kill the tree? Apparently, it does so by allying with the creepers in the garden.
A research paper by three scientists of the Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden, located in West Bengal's Howrah district, illustrates in detail how the manja, in collusion with climbers, does the damage. "The abandoned, torn kite strings act as an excellent primary supporting platform for the tender climbers, giving easy passage to reach the top of the trees. Lateral branches from the top of the climber and other accessory branches from the ground reaches the top taking support of the first climber, completely covers the treetop, thus inhibiting the penetration of sunlight," says the research paper.
