atul raj  (12 years ago)

total wheat=x million tons
wheat left after 5% lost=95x/100
now after giving out 9 million tons = (95x/100)-9 = required for the country
after 6% lost = 94x/100
now it need for country 2million more
required for country is =(94x/100)+2

(95x/100)-9=(94x/100)+2

x=1100

let x be the tolal production of wheat in the country
(95/100)x-9 = (94/100)x+2
=>x/100 = 11
=> x = 1100. ans
