   2. If the cost of 1 dozen of bananas is ₹ 60, the cost of 1 apple is ₹ 15 and cost of 1 mango is ₹ 20, find the total amount spent on 60 bananas, 36 apples and 42 mangoes.
      

Answer 1

Khushi has 36 apples and 60 bananas

1. Khushi can invite guests = HCF(36, 60) = 12
   So, she can invite at most 12 guests.
2. Each guest gets bananas = `60/12` = 5 bananas
   Each guest get apples = `36/12` = 3 apples
3. 1. If Khushi adds 42 mangoes
      She can invite guests = HCF (36, 60, 42) = 6
      OR
   2. Total amount spent = 5 × (60) + 15 × (36) + (42) × (20)
      = 300 + 540 + 840
      = ₹ 1680
