Question 44
Back to Exercise
First bunch of bananas has (1/4) again as many bananas as a second bunch. If the second bunch has 3 bananas less than the first bunch, then the number of bananas in the first bunch are
- A 9
- B 10
- C 12
- D 15 Correct
Correct Answer: Option D
Let the number of bananas in the second bunch be x.
Then, the number of bananas in the first bunch
= x + 1/4 x
= 5/4 x
So,
5/4 x - x = 3
=> 5x - 4x = 12
x = 12
Number of bananas in first bunch
= 5/4 * 12 = 15
