ram bought a few mangos and apples spending an amount of at most Rs 2000. If each mangos cost Rs4 and each apple costs Rs6 and ram bought at least one fruit of each type how many different possible amount could he have spent in purchasing the fruit .

  If cost of each mango=x, apple=y ,then 4x+6y=2000 or x+ 1.5y=500
  Possible values,of 'x' and 'y',if at least one fruit is bought,
  x=497, y=2
  x=494, y=4
  x=491, y=6
  .
  .
  .
  x=5, y=330
  x=2, y=332
  
  Values of x,y will be the total terms of A.P. series above
  So, 2+(n-1)2=332 ,n=166
