Question

Prepare an equation for the given situation: Yash and Kirti have a certain number of tamarind seeds. Yash has \[2\] seeds less than Kirti. If Yash has \[25\] seeds, prepare the equation to find the number of seeds Kirti has. (suppose m is the number of seeds Kirti has.)
A) \[m{\text{ }} - {\text{ }}2{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}25\]
B) \[m{\text{ }} - {\text{ }}2{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}23\]
C) \[m{\text{ }} + {\text{ }}2{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}25\]
D) \[m{\text{ }} - {\text{ }}2{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}27\]

Answer 1

Hint: To solve this question, first we will note down all the information given in the question. After that from the given situation we will prepare an equation using the values.

Complete step by step answer:
 We have been given a situation, where Yash and Kirti has certain number of tamarind seeds.
We have also been given, that number of seeds Kirti has \[ = \] m
And, number of seeds Yash has \[ = {\text{ }}25\]
It is mentioned in the question that Yash has \[2\] seeds less than of Kirti.
Now, on preparing equation for the given situation, we get
\[m{\text{ }} - {\text{ }}2{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}25\]
where, m \[ = \] number of seeds Kirti has
\[25{\text{ }} = \] number of seeds Yash has

Thus, option (A), \[m{\text{ }} - {\text{ }}2{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}25,\] is the correct answer.

Note: Alternative method of above question:
We have been given, that number of seeds Kirti has \[ = \] m
Let number of seeds Yash has \[ = \] n
It is mentioned in the question that Yash has \[2\] seeds less than of Kirti.
So, using the above information and preparing equation out of it, we get
\[n{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}m{\text{ }} - {\text{ }}2\]
Now, if n \[ = {\text{ }}25.\] Then on putting the value in above equation, we get
\[m{\text{ }}-{\text{ }}2{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}25\]
Thus, option (A), \[m{\text{ }} - {\text{ }}2{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}25,\] is the correct answer.
