There are n boxes and m fruits. If we put 3 fruits in each box 3 fruits will be excess. If we put 4 fruits in each box 1 box will be excess. Find number of boxes and fruits ?

Correct Answer: 7 & 24

Explanation:

7 boxes & 24 Balls.
Let, n = No. of boxes ; m = No. of fruits
3n+3 = m---------->(1)
4(n-1)= m---------->(2)
=>4n-4 = 3n+3;
=>4n-3n = 4+3
n = 7
Put n=7 in eqn(1)
=> 3(7)+3 = m
21+3 = m
m = 24;


Number of boxes = 7 and fruits = 24
