C) 9 & 9 | D) 11 & 9 |
Answer: D) 11 & 9
Explanation:
Explanation:
Let the number of apples in each tree of the 5 farmers be a, b, c, d,e respectively. Therefore total no of apples are 7a, 9b, 11c, 13d and 14e respectively.
Given,
7a+1 = 9b+3 = 11c-1 = 13d+3 = 14e-6 = x
9b+3 = 13d+3
===> 9b = 13d
so take b = 13 and d = 9
9b+3 = 9*13+3 = 120
ie, x=120
substituting
7a+1 = 120
7a = 119
a = 17
11c-1 = 120
11c = 121
c=11
14e-6 = 120
14e = 126
e = 9
Yields per tree in the orchards of d 3rd & 4th farmers= 11,9
