Question

    A gardener is planting two types of flowers, roses and

    tulips. Each rose costs ₹50, and each tulip costs ₹30. If the gardener spends ₹3,800 in total and plants 20 more tulips than roses, how many of each type of flower did the gardener plant?
    A 40 roses and 60 tulips Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 50 roses and 70 tulips Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 30 roses and 50 tulips Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60 roses and 80 tulips Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution: Let the number of roses be x. Then the number of tulips = x + 20. Cost equation: 50x + 30(x + 20) = 3800 => 50x + 30x + 600 = 3800 => 80x = 3200 => x = 40 Total values will be: 40 roses and 60 tulips.
