Mr. Kasam runs a small business of making earthen pots. He makes certain number of pots on daily basis. Production cost of each pot is ₹ 40 more than 10 times total number of pots, he makes in one day. If production cost of all pots per day is ₹ 600, find production cost of one pot and number of pots he makes per day.

Answer: He makes 6 pots per day; production cost of one pot is ₹ 100.

Let the number of pots per day be \(x\). Cost of one pot \(= 10x + 40\) rupees.

\[x(10x + 40) = 600\]\[10x^2 + 40x - 600 = 0\]\[x^2 + 4x - 60 = 0\]\[(x + 10)(x - 6) = 0\]

\(x = 6\). Cost of one pot \(= 10(6) + 40 = 100\) rupees; \(6 \times 100 = 600\).
