36. There are twelve dozen of apple in a basket. Two dozen are added later. Ten aples got spoil and are removed. The
remaining are transferred equally into two baskets, how many are there is each.
(1) 168 (2) 158 (3) 79 (4) 89
Ans. (3 )
Sol. Initial number of apples in the basket = 12 x 12 = 144
Two dozens more added
So the number of apples become 144 + 24 = 168
10 apples got rotten
Remaining apples = 168 – 10 = 158
Which are equally distributed into two baskets
Therefore each basket has = 158/2 = 79 apples
