1. Ans. 9000
   Let on monday she processed x cheques then on tuesday she
   processed 3x cheques.
   So, total is
   x + 3x + 4000 = 16000
   4x = 16000-4000
   4x = 12000
   x = 3000
   therefore on monday she processed 3000 cheques.
   On tuesday she processed 3*3000=9000 cheques.

   1. Monday =y cheques
      Tuesday =3y cheques
      wednesday=4000 cheques
      totaling to 16000 cheques
      therefore y+3y+4000=16000 cheques
      4y+4000=16000 cheques therefore 4y=16000-4000 cheques= 4y=12000cheques
      therefore y=12000/4=3000 cheques
      monday=3000 cheques
      tuesday=3×3000=9000cheques
