1. Two forest officials in their respective division were involved in the harvesting of tendu leave. One division had an average output of 21 tons from a hectares and other division, which had 12 hectares of land less, dedicated to tendu leaves, got 25 tons of tendu from a hectare. As a result, the second division harvested 300 tons of tendu leaves more than the first. How many tons of tendu leaves did the first division harvest.
Now according to the question,
25 × (x - 12) = 21x + 300
or, x = 150 hectare
Hence, the first division harvest 3150 tons tendu leaves.
Solution:
Let First division have x hectare of the land then second division will have (x - 12) hectare of landNow according to the question,
25 × (x - 12) = 21x + 300
or, x = 150 hectare
Hence, the first division harvest 3150 tons tendu leaves.
