      6:5. If 18 tea cups are broken and 12 new coffee cups are added, the count of both becomes equal. Find the original number of coffee cups.
      A 148 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 174 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 182 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the number of tea and coffee cups be '6n' and '5n', respectively.

      So, 6n - 18 = 5n + 12

      Or, 'n' = 30

      Therefore, number of coffee cups = 30 × 5 = 150
