Let's say bananas in 2nd bunch be X.
And then bananas in 1st bunch will be 1/4X + X = 5X/4.
In second condition;
X = 5/4X - 3 (3 less then 1st bunch).
5/4X -X =3,
X = 12.
Now we know bananas in 1st bunch 5/4 * 12 (X=12),
= 15.
And then bananas in 1st bunch will be 1/4X + X = 5X/4.
In second condition;
X = 5/4X - 3 (3 less then 1st bunch).
5/4X -X =3,
X = 12.
Now we know bananas in 1st bunch 5/4 * 12 (X=12),
= 15.
