A pineapple costs rs. 7. A watermelon cots rs. 5. X spends rs. 38 on these fruits. The number of pineapples purchased is _______.

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 4

  4. Data inadequate

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Let the number of pineapple and watermelon be x and y
Then 7x+5y=38 (given cost of pineapple and watermelon is Rs 7and Rs 5
Or 5y=38-7x
Or $y=\frac{38-7x}{5}$ 
clearly y is whole number only when (38-7x) is divisible by 5
This happens when x=4
