RE: A farmers wife says to her husband if we have 75 ...
Hi All Acc to me the answer must be 600. I have seen in many previous papers that the answer is 300 but culd not get that in any way. The approach i followed was: Assume that the number of chicken are : X Assume that the availabled feed is : y units Feed consumed by each chick in one day in first scenario is :( y/20)/(X-75) IIrly Feed consumed by each chick in one day in second scenario is :( y/15)/(X+100) equating these two we get X 600(Assuming that each hen eats the same amount of feed everyday)Regards Sravya:)

RE: A farmers wife says to her husband if we have 75 ...

initially farmer has x no. of chikens and that last up to d days

Then food he want is x*d

now he want to selll 75 chickens so x-75 no of chickens and food last up to 20 days more means d+20. still our initial food is the same x*d.

now he want to buy chickens so x+100 of chickens and food last up to 15 days less means d-15. still our initial food is the same x*d.

now two equations we get

(x-75)*(d+20) xd

(x+100)*(d-15) xd by solving we get x 300 and d 60
