Solution

Total Rupees = 20
price for cup= 3 rs
Price for glasses = 1 rs
Price for spoon = 25 paise =0.25 rs
No of cups = x
No. Of glasses = y
No. Of spoons = z
Total no.of things = x+y+z= 20.....(1)
then
3x + y + 0.25 z = 20 rs......(2) { total amount can spend)

I think your question is not correct or the answer will be "boy can buy the all three things"...
becoz if the question intent to get the no.of each things that can buy the given data is not proper for that...

According to this question so many no.of combination can bought.
example
  • 6 cups, 1 glass ,4 spoon
  • 5 cups, 4 glass ,4 spoon
  • Etc..
