Solution

Let no, of ashok trees be $x$
Jumbul trees are $60$ more than ashok trees.
Numbers of jambhul trees is $x + 60$
Now,
$x + (x + 60) = 200$
$\begin{matrix} \Rightarrow 2 x + 60 = 200 \Rightarrow 2 x = 200 - 60 \end{matrix}$
$\begin{matrix} \Rightarrow 2 x = 140 \Rightarrow x = \frac{140}{2} = 70 \end{matrix}$
Then,
we get number of ashok tree $= 70$
And number of jambul trees $= 130$
