pairs will be solution of 10a+25b=1000
that could be (5,38),(10,36),(15,34).......(95,2)
so possible nos are 19 if a and b type is there and if it may be possible that only one will be their then possible pairs will be 19+2=21....

I think its 19 bcoz there are both type A and type B oranges packed in carton

.A carton comprising of 1000 oranges of type A and type B
this statement says about both type so I think ans should be 19
by removing only A and only B sets.

10x+25y=1000
=>2x+5y=200
now,x can take values 0,5,10,15..100
0 being the case of all type b and 100 the case of all type a.
using A.P. 0+5*n=100
=>n=20
so according to me the ans should be 20..

as per the given question the equation formed is
10a+25b=1000
=> 2a+5b=200, put a=0
we get b=40
only integer values possible so, put a=5 we get b=38 , rest combinations are
(a,b)=(0,40), (5,38),(10,36),(15,34),----------------(100,0) = 21 combinations
