Question

Two salesmen make equal sales during the month of August. In September, each salesman doubles his sale of the month of August. Compare their sales in September. Solve the following question using appropriate Euclid’s axiom.

Answer 1

Let the sale of both the salesmen in August $=S$.

According to the given details, we get to know that

In September, each salesman doubles his sales of August.

Hence,

In September,

Sales of first salesmen $=2S$

And, sales of second salesman $=2S$.

According to Euclid’s axioms, things that are double of the same things are equal to one another.

Therefore, in September their sales are again equal.
