उत्तर

Let the number of boxes filled, by using 20 bottles in each box, be x.

The following table is obtained:

Number of bottles 12 20
Number of boxes 25 x

The more the number of bottles, the less will be the number of boxes.

Therefore,

12 × 25 = 20 × x

`x = (12 xx 25)/20`

x = 15

Hence, the number of boxes required to pack these bottles is 15.
