khushboo  (9 years ago)

let the no. of white and brown sharpener is x and y respectively..
and let cost of brown sharpener is a then cost of white sharpener is (a+1)
so according to question
x(a+1)+ya=100
(x+y)a+x=100
18a+x=100
since x+y=18 is given in the question
if we put a=5 in he question
we get x=10
so no. of white sharpener is x=10 and cost of white sharpener is (a+1)=6
ans=6,10

1 white sharpner=rs 6
10 white sharpner=60
brown sharpner=8
cost of 1 brown =5
cost of all brown= 40
total 60+40=100

total 18 sharpeners for rs.100/- then check options (6,10)
6*10=60 (10 white each is 6/-)left with 40. means 8 brown each is 5=> 5*8=40
they said white sharpener is one rs more than brown
