Q:

A man could buy a certain number of notebooks for Rs.300. If each notebook cost is Rs.5 more, he could have bought 10 notebooks less for the same amount. Find the price of each notebook ?

A) 15 B) 20
C) 10 D) 8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 10

Explanation:

Let the price of each note book be Rs.x.

Let the number of note books which can be brought for Rs.300 each at a price of Rs.x be y.

Hence xy = 300

=> y = 300/x

(x + 5)(y - 10) = 300 => xy + 5y - 10x - 50 = xy

=>5(300/x) - 10x - 50 = 0 => -150+x2+5x

multiplying both sides by -1/10x

=> x2+15x-10x-150=0

=> x(x + 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0

=> x = 10 or -15

As x>0, x = 10.
