Solution

Let the number of buckets purchased by Sahil be x. And the number of buckets purchased by Sumit = 1.45x Number of mugs purchased by Sahil = 0.4x Number of mugs purchased by Sumit = 0.4x/0.8 = 0.5x According to question, => 1.45x × 220 = 63800 => x = 200 Number of buckets purchased by Sumit = 290 Number of buckets purchased by Sahil = 200 Number of mugs purchased by Sumit = 100 Number of mugs purchased by Sahil = 80 Required difference = 63800 – (80 × 150) = 63800 – 12000 = Rs.51800
