Question

Sunil purchased 5(1/2) kg and Vijay purchased 3(4/5) kg mangoes. Find how much more mangoes did Sunil purchase.

Answer 1

Sunil purchased mangoes = 5(1/2) kg or 11/2 kg 

Vijay purchased mangoes = 3(4/5) kg or 19/5 kg 

∴ Sunil purchased more mangoes = (11/2) – (19/5) 

∴ = (11/2) – (19/5) = (11 x 5 - 19 x 2)/10 

= (55 - 38)/10 = 17/10 kg (L.C.M. of 2 and 5 = 10)
