166. Suppose the x and y baskets were loaded in the first two trucks.
Total number of baskets = 1230
∴ Number of baskets initially loaded in the third basket = 1230 (x+y )
According to the question,
x− 5;y−1 0;123 0− (x+y)−15 = 3:4:5
x−5 3
∴ =
1230 −(x+y)−15 5

⇒ 8x + 3y = 3670 → (1)

and =
1230 −(x+y)−15 5

⇒ 4x + 9y = 4910 → (2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3,
24x + 9y = 11010 → (3)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (3), we get
20x = 6100
6100
⇒ x = = 305
20
(1) ⇒ 8(305) + 3y = 3670
⇒ 2440 + 3y = 3670
3y = 3670 − 2440 = 1230
1230
y = = 410

Hence number of baskets loaded in first truck = 305.
Number of baskets loaded in Second Truck = 410 and the number of baskets loaded in
third truck.
