- 800
- 600
- 400
- 300
Correct Option: C
Let the number of oranges in the first basket be x.
∴ Number of oranges in the second basket = 640 – x
According to the question,
| x − | = 640 – x + | ||
| 5 | 5 |
| = 640 − | | x − | | |
| 5 |
| ⇒ | = 640 – | ||
| 5 | 5 |
| ⇒ | + | = 640 | ||
| 5 | 5 |
| ⇒ | = 640 ⇒ 8x = 640 × 5 | = 640 | |
| 5 |
| ⇒ x = | = 400 | |
| 8 |
