A truck contains 150 small packages, some weighing 1 kg each and some weighing 2 kg each. How many packages weighing 2 kg each are in the truck if the total weight of all the packages is 264 kg?
a. 36
b. 88
c. 114
d. 124

• no of 1 kg boxes = x;
  no of 2 kg boxes = y;
  x+y=150;
  Total weight = x*1 + y*2
  x+2y=264;
  y=114
  Ans (C)

• option verification: c
  114*2+36*1=264
  114+36 gives 150 pakages

• answer c,
  (114*2)+(150-114)=264

• 2*x + (150 - x) = 264
  => x=114

• Ans. is Option C
  Total no. of boxes=150
  No. of 1 kg boxes=x;
  No. of 2 kg boxes= 150-x;
  (x*1)+(150-x*2)=264
  -x=-36 i.e x=36
  150-x
  150-36=114

• let 1kg box be x and 2kg y
  x+y=150
  x*2y=264
  on solving,x=114 any y=36
  hence 36

• Correct Answer is c.114.
  Let number of 1kg be x and number of 2kg be y. Then x+y=150 and x+2y=264.
  Solving for y we get y=264-150=114. Hence the option C.

• 114.
  if u take x packages of 1kg bags then left over i.e. 150-x will be 2 kg packages.
  x*1 + (150-x)*2=264
  =>x=36
  so 150-36=114 ---2 kg packages
