2. assuming initially the number of yellow bunches bought and
   red bought to be equal.
   now for after dividing the totall sum it is given that the
   increase in number of bunches is equal to 2. for this to
   happen there must be 6 red buches decremented and 8 yellow
   bunches incrimented in their number. That is 240 cents to
   be decrimented amount to be spent on buying red bunches .
   for this to happen there must be initially 48yellow and 48
   red bunches to be bought. For buying this many bunches we
   must have 3360 cents.
