Indian Institute of Foreign Trade 2016 Solved Paper

(c) Let farmer A has ‘x’ hectare land
∴ Total production of A = 20x
Farmer B has x + 15 hectare land
∴ Total production of B = (x + 15) × 30
Given that (x + 15) × 30 – 20x = 530
⇒ 30x + 450 – 20x = 530 ⇒ 10x = 80 ⇒ x = 8.
∴ Total production of farmer A = 20x = 20 × 8 = 160 bushels.
