Number System
735 chocolates were distributed equally among children in such a way that the number of chocolates received by each child is 60% of the total number of children. How many chocolates did each child rec
Let the number of children be 'x' Therefore, each child will receiveX x 60/100 = 3x/5 chocolates∴ X x 3x/5 = 735∴ x² x 735x5/3 = 1225∴ x = 1225 = 35∴ Number of chocolates = 3x/5 = 21
Let the father's age be x and son's age yTherefore, x + y = 60 ....................(i)Five years back, (x - 5) = 4 (y - 5)x - 4y = - 15 ......................(2)Solving (1) and (2), x = 45 and y = 15
