Detailed Solution

Given,
Total production of the toys = Rs 750
Assume that the number of toys produced be x.
Therefore, Cost of production of each toy = Rs. (55-x).
According to the question,
x(55x) =750 x 2 55x+750 =0 x 2 25x30x+750 =0 x(x25)30(x30) =0  
(x25)(x30)=0 x25=0 or x30=0   Therefore, x=25   or x=30  .
Hence the number of toys produced that day will be either 25 or 30.
So, the correct option is 1.
