Manisha went to shop with certain amount, with which she can buy 50 Chacobar or 40 Fivestar. She uses 10% amount for petrol and out of the remaining balance, she purchases 20 Fivestar and some Chacobar. Find the number of Chacobar she can buy?

Correct Answer: 20

Explanation:

Let the total amount be 200 {L.C.M of 40 and 50}


Chacobar C.P. = 200/50 = 4


Fivestar C.P = 200/40 = 5


Remaining Money after petrol = [200 - 200×10%] = 180


Remaining money after buying fivestars = [180 - 20×5] = 80


So number of Chacobar she can buy = 80/4 = 20
