Question

9,000 were divided equally among a certain no of persons . had there been 20 more person each would have got rupees 160 . find the original no of persons​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number of persons be " x "

and , let each person get $\frac{9000}{x}$rupees.

______________________________________

let's first see why each person got $\frac{9000}{x}$ rupees ,

let us suppose each person gets an amount of " r " rupees.

then ,

$x \times r = amount \: we \: have \: with \: us \\ \dashrightarrow{xr = 9000} \\ \dashrightarrow{ r = \frac{9000}{x}}$

According to Question ,

hαd thєrє вєєn 20 mσrє pєrѕσnѕ, єαch pєrѕσn wσuld'vє gσt rupєєѕ 160 lєѕѕ.

hєncє, wє αrє nσw ín α ѕtαtє tσ frαmє αn єquαtíσn whích íѕ αѕ fσllσwѕ -

$\fbox{(x + 20)(r - 160) = 9000}$

lєt'ѕ nσw plug ín thє vαluє σf r αѕ $\frac{9000}{x}$

$(x + 20)( \frac{9000}{x} - 160) = 900 0\\ \\ \cancel{9000} + \frac{180000}{x} - 160x - 3200 =\cancel{ 9000} \\ \\ taking\:LCM, \\ \\ - 160x {}^{2} - 3200x + 180000 = 0$

on dividing the complete equation by (- 160)

$x { }^{2} + 20x - 1125 = 0$

now , use the method of splitting the middle term so that we get the value of x.

$x {}^{2} + 45x - 25x - 1125 = 0 \\ \\ x(x + 45) - 25(x + 45) \\ \\ (x + 45)(x - 25) = 0 \\ \\ \fbox{x = - 45 \: \: or \: \: 25}$

since number of persons can't be negative. therefore ,

number of persons = x = 25

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities.
