Answer:

The number of Apples did Ravi have at first is 125 .

Explanation:

Let the number of Apples did Ravi have at first = x

The Apples which is sold by Ravi =
(1)/(5) of x

So, remainder now = x -
of x =
of x

The apples given to his friend =
(2)/(5) of
(4)/(5) x

I.e The apples given to his friend =
of x

Now, The remaining Apples did Ravi have = 50

∴ According to question

(4)/(5) of x -
(8)/(25) of x = 60

Or,
(20-8)/(25) of x = 60

Or,
(12)/(25) of x = 60

∴ x =
= 125

Hence The number of Apples did Ravi have at first is 125 . Answer
