Question 743313
a 700 gm dry fruit costs Rs 72 it contains some cashew and the rest dry grapes if cashew kernel costs Rs 96 per kg and dry grapes cost Rs 112 per kg what were the quantities of the two dry fruits separately?
----------
Quantity Equation:  c +  g = 700 gm
Value Equation::: 96c +112g = 72*700 RS
--------
12c + 12g = 12*700 
12c + 14g = 9*700 
--------------------
Comment: These equations result in a negative value for "g".
I think the problem is that both cashew and grapes cost more
per kg than the mixed fruit.
Hummmm????

Is your post correct?
