Question

1235 Sacks of rice is to be brought from Trivandrum to Kottayam. For this a minitruck takes 6 trips more than that of an ordinary truck. An ordinary truck can carry 30 sacks more than that of a mini truck. Find the capacity of each truck.

Answer 1

Let the capacity of mini truck be x sacks and ordinary truck be x + 30 sacks

∴ small mini trip = \(\frac{1235}{x}\)

ordinary trucks trip = \(\frac{1235}{x-30}\)

\(\frac{1235}{x}-\frac{1235}{x+30}=6\)
