If 3 hen together are worth Rs. 21 and 5 chicks together Rs. 20, then how many hen and chicks, cannot be bought for Rs. 100? Correct Answer 16 hen and 2 chicks
Calculation:
3 Hen worth Rs. = 21
Then 1 Hen worth Rs. = 21/3 = 7
5 Chicks worth Rs. = 20
Then,1 Chicks worth Rs. = 20/5 = 4
Then,cost of 12 hen and 4 chicks is = 12 × 7 + 4 × 4 = 100
Then,cost of 16 hen and 2 chicks is = 16 × 7 + 2 × 4 = 120
Then,cost of 4 hen and 12 chicks is = 4 × 7 + 12 × 4 = 76
Then,cost of 8 hen and 11 chicks is = 8 × 7 + 11 × 4 = 100
The price of 16 hen and 2 chicks is more than Rs 100
∴ 16 hen and 2 chicks cannot bought for Rs 100
