100 glasses are there. A servant has to supply glasses to a
person If he supplies the glasses without any damage he
will get 3 paise otherwise he will loose 3 paise. At the
end of supplying 100 glasses if he gets 270 paise, how many
glasses were supplied safely.
Answer Posted / grandvazir
well let x be no of not broken glasses and y be no of broken glasses
therefore
x+y=100.....(1)
now he get 3 paise for every not broken glass and he loses 3 paise for every broken one
so 3x paise he will get for total no of not broken glasses
and he will lose 3y paise for broken glasses
so the eqn is
3x-3y=100.....(2)
thus solving the eqns (1) and (2)
we get
x=95 and y=5
so 95 glasses are supplied safely
