Question

380 mangoes are distributed among some boys and girls who are 85 in numbers each boys get four mangoes and each girls get five the number of boys is ratio the number of girls

​

Answer 1

Boys(B) + Girls(G) = 85 ----(1)

Mangoes = 380

Each boy gets 4mangoes

Each girl gets 5mangoes

4B + 5G = 380 -------(2)

from (1) B = 85 - G

Substitute B in (2)

4(85 - G) + 5G = 380

360 - 4G + 5G = 380

G = 380 - 360 = 20

from (1) B = 85 - 20 = 65

Therefore number of boys = 65 and girls = 20

Ratio of boys and girls = 65 : 20 = 13 : 4
