Two forest officials in their respective divisions were involved in the harvesting of Tendu leaves. One division had an average output of 21 tons from a hectare and the other division which had 12 hectares of land less, dedicated to tendu leaves , get 25 tons of tendu from a ehctare. As a result, the second division harvested 300 tons of tendu leaves more than the first. How many tons of tendu leaves did the first division harvest?
A)3150
B)3450
C)3500
D)NOne of these

• Solving by options
  
  take a) 3150
  
  first line 3150/21=150 (first official has 150 hect land)
  
  
  second line 150-12=138 138*25=3450
  
  which is 300 ton more than first official...thus all the conditions are satisfied...hence ans is true

• let first division be containing hectares= x
  first division had tons of tendu leaves per hectare = 21x
  so,2nd div wud hav hectares= x-12
  2nd division had tons of tendu leaves per hectare = 25(x-12) { since ,2nd division had 12 hectares land less than 1st div }
  now,
  25(x-12)-21x=300 {since,2nd div harvested 300 tons more than 1st,so,2nd minus first wud be done as 2nd is greater}
  x=150
  so,tons of tendu leaves in first div =21x=21*150=3150
