Given :- In a cottage industry a certain number of pottery is made every day. It has been found that the cost of making each pot is ₹ 5 more than double the pottery made daily. If the cost of making pottery on a particular day was Rs 168, then calculate how many pots were made that day. ?

Solution :-

Let us assume that, the number of pottery made daily is x .

so,

→ cost of each pot = Rs. (2x + 5)

then,

→ Total pottery * cost of each = Total cost

→ x * (2x + 5) = 168

→ 2x² + 5x - 168 = 0

→ 2x² -16x + 21x - 168 = 0

→ 2x(x - 8) + 21(x - 8) = 0

→ (x - 8)(2x + 21) = 0

→ x = 8 or (-21/2) .

since negative value is not possible.

therefore, total 8 pots were made that day .
