    First bunch of bananas has \[\frac{1}{4}\] again as many bananas as a second bunch. If the second bunch has 3 bananas less than the first bunch, then the number of bananas in the first bunch is

    A) 9                     

    B) 10

    C) 12                                

    D) 15

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the number of bananas in the second bunch be x Then, number of bananas in the first bunch             \[=x+\frac{1}{4}x=\frac{5}{4}x\] So, \[\frac{5}{4}x-x=3\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[5x-4x=12\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=12\] \[\therefore \] Number of bananas in the first bunch             \[=\left( \frac{5}{4}\times 12 \right)=15\]
