प्रश्न

A batch of bottles was packed in 25 boxes with 12 bottles in each box. If the same batch is packed using 20 bottles in each box, how many boxes would be filled?

योग

उत्तर

Let the number of boxes filled, by using 20 bottles in each box, be x.

The following table is obtained:

Number of bottles 12 20
Number of boxes 25 x

The more the number of bottles, the less will be the number of boxes.

Therefore,

12 × 25 = 20 × x

`x = (12 xx 25)/20`

x = 15

Hence, the number of boxes required to pack these bottles is 15.
