  1. Answer:

    12 and 8 : HOPE IT EXPLAINS IT

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let their is two type of milk x and y

    So, ATQ total milk is 20 litres.

    So,

    x + y = 20

    x = 20 – y ————-equation (1)

    Now,

    Milkman sold milk at 15 rs per litre = 15 X x

    = 15x

    Milk sold at 20 rs per litre = 20 X y

    = 20y

    total money = 340 rs

    SO, ATQ

    15x + 20y = 340 ————equation (2)

    putting value of x from equation (1) in equation (2)

    15(20-y) + 20y = 340

    300 – 15y + 20y = 340

    300 + 5y = 340

    5y = 340 -300

    5y = 40

    y = 40/5

    y = 8

    Putting value of y in equation (1)

    x = 20 – 8

    x = 12

    So, milkman sold 12 litres milk at rate of 15 and 8 litres of milk at rate of 20 rs.
