Solution

Let the number of ashoka trees planted in the forest = x
Then, the number of jambhul trees planted in the forest = x + 60
According to question, total number of ashoka and jambhul trees planted in the forest is 200.
$\Rightarrow x + (x + 60) = 200 \Rightarrow x + x + 60 = 200 \Rightarrow 2 x + 60 = 200 \Rightarrow 2 x = 200 - 60 \Rightarrow 2 x = 140 \Rightarrow x = \frac{140}{2} \Rightarrow x = 70$
Number of ashoka trees planted in the forest = x = 70
Number of jambhul trees planted in the forest = x + 60 = 70 + 60 = 130
