Answer 1

Problem Analysis

The problem states that Aslan collected 125 bottles and Elchin collected 37 more bottles than Aslan. We need to find the total number of bottles collected by both boys. However, there seems to be an error in the problem statement because it contradicts the given information that both boys collected a total of 213 bottles.

Solution

Let's assume the number of bottles collected by Aslan is A and the number of bottles collected by Elchin is E.

According to the given information: - Aslan collected 125 bottles: A = 125 - Elchin collected 37 more bottles than Aslan: E = A + 37

We are also given that the total number of bottles collected by both boys is 213: A + E = 213

Now, we can substitute the value of E from the second equation into the third equation: A + (A + 37) = 213

Simplifying the equation: 2A + 37 = 213 2A = 213 - 37 2A = 176 A = 88

Therefore, Aslan collected 88 bottles.

To find the number of bottles collected by Elchin, we can substitute the value of A into the second equation: E = A + 37 E = 88 + 37 E = 125

Therefore, Elchin also collected 125 bottles.

Answer

The total number of bottles collected by both boys is 88 + 125 = 213.

Error in the Problem Statement

The error in the problem statement is that it contradicts the given information. According to the problem statement, both boys collected a total of 213 bottles. However, based on the given information, Aslan collected 125 bottles and Elchin collected 37 more bottles than Aslan. Therefore, the total number of bottles collected by both boys should be 125 + (125 + 37) = 287, not 213.
