Let 's' be the number of small packets and 'b' the number of large packets sold on that day.

Therefore, s + b = 5000 ... eqn (1)

Each small packet was sold for Rs.150.
Therefore, 's' small packets would have fetched Rs.150s.

Each large packets was sold for Rs.250.
Therefore, 'b' large packets would have fetched Rs.250b.

Total value of sale = 150s + 250b = Rs. 10.5 Lakhs (Given)

Or 150s + 250b = 10,50,000 ... eqn (2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 150, we get 150s + 150b = 7,50,000 ... eqn (3)

Subtracting eqn (3) from eqn (2), we get 100b = 3,00,000
Or b = 3000

We know that s + b = 5000
So, s = 5000 - b = 5000 - 3000 = 2000.

2000 small packets were sold.

Here to say which fraction is greater from the given options, the fraction with greater numerator with same denominator or smaller denominator with same numerator.

To find the greater fraction, among the given options, make the denominators same for the options by finding the LCM of all the denominators.

7/12, 9/16, 13/20, 32/80

Now, LCM of 12, 16, 20, 80 = 240.

Then,

140/240, 135/240, 156/240, 96/240

Here 

$$\begin{gathered} 156240 > 140240 > 135240 > 96240 \\ => 1320 > 712 > 916 > 3280 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, largest fraction = 13/20.

5% of 40,000  = 5100 × 40,000 = 5 × 400 = 2,000  

Hence, 5% of 40,000 = 2,000.

Compounding frequency :

The time periods when interest will be calculated on top of the original loan amount (or) The number of compounding periods in one year.

The greater the compounding frequency, the more often your interest is calculated and added back into your account.
