Mohan bought a total of 72 apples, bananas and oranges and paid Rs 216. Each apple, banana and orange costs Rs 2, Rs 3 and Rs 4 respectively. Find the maximum number of oranges he could have purchased.
(1) 34 (2) 30 (3) 28 (4) 35

• x+y+z=72
  2x+3y+4z=216
  frm oftn if we take max orange 35,then x+y=37,2x+3y=76,solving this two eqtn y=2,x=35.
  so ans is 35

• it must be 34
  let x+Y+z=72 and 2x+3Y+4z=216
  from option if we take maximum oranges as 34 then x+y=38 and 2x+3y=216-136=80
  so solving these two equation x=34 and y=4

• x+y+z=72 ; 2x+3y+4z=216
  y+2z=72 from option if y=35 then 72-35=37 which s nt div by 2
  nxt 72-34=38 which s div by 2..
  therefore ans is 34
