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:)
