      apples are removed and 18 oranges are added, then the number of apples and oranges becomes equal. Find the original number of oranges in the basket.

      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the number of apples and oranges be '3n' and '2n', respectively.

      So, 3n - 12 = 2n + 18

      Or, 'n' = 30

      Therefore, number of oranges = 30 ├Ч 2 = 60
