Not sure if it can come in GMAT

The price of Darjeeling tea (in rupees per kilogram) is 100 + 0.10n, on the nth day of 2007 (n = 1, 2, ......, 100), and then
remains constant. On the other hand, the price of Ooty tea (in rupees per kilogram) is 89 + 0.15n, on the nth day of 2007
(n = 1, 2, ......., 365). On which date in 2007 will the prices of these two varieties of tea be equal?


(1) April 11 (2) May 20 (3) April 10 (4) June 30 (5) May 21

on 100 th day price of darjeeling tea =100+0.10*100=110
so now need to find the day when value of ooty tea will be 110
so we can equate 89 + 0.15n=110
so we will get n=140 on solving
so starting from 1st jan 140 th day will be may 20 as feb has 28 days(2007 is not a leap year)

good problem already it has come in one of the entarnce exam
Ideation without execution is delusion
