Purana and Naya are two brands of kitchen mixer-grinders available in the local market. Purana is an old brand that was introduced in 1990, while Naya was introduced in 1997. For both these brands, 20% of the mixer-grinders bought in a particular year are disposed off as junk exactly two years later. It is knows that 10 Purana mixer-grinders were disposed off in 1997. The following figures show the number of Purana and Naya mixer-grinders in operation from 1995 to 2000, as at the end of the year.
Purana mixer-grinders were purchased in 1999 = 236 - 222 +Disposed in 1999
= 236-222 + 20%(Purana mixer-grinders were purchased in 1997)
= 236 - 222 + 20%(182 - 162 + 10) = 236- 222 + 6 = 20.
