Ram bought some pens at 5 Rs. per pen and some pencil at 4 Rs. per pencil. If he spent a total of 150 Rs. , How many pencil could have he bought? Correct Answer 15

Let no. of pens and pencil bought be x and y respectively

⇒ 5x + 4y = 150

⇒ x = (150 - 4y)/5

As, x is a integer

⇒ y is a multiple of 5

∴ in the options only 15 is a multiple of 5
