Question
A shopkeeper contains apples, oranges and bananas in the ratio 5:7:8. There is a demand to increase their quantity by 50%, 60% and 70% respectively. What will be ratio of the increased quantity?Options :25:75:10026:72:11275:112:13676:100:201
Solution
The original ratio of apples, oranges, and bananas is 5:7:8.
-
To find the new ratio after increasing their quantities, we first need to calculate the increased quantity for each fruit.
-
For apples, the quantity is increased by 50%. So, the new quantity of apples is 5 + 50% of 5 = 5 + 2.5 = 7.5.
-
For oranges, the quantity is increased by 60%. So, the new quantity of oranges is 7 + 60% of 7 = 7 + 4.2 = 11.2.
-
For bananas, the quantity is increased by 70%. So, the new quantity of bananas is 8 + 70% of 8 = 8 + 5.6 = 13.6.
-
So, the new ratio of apples, oranges, and bananas is 7.5:11.2:13.6.
-
However, the options provided are all in whole numbers. This means we need to convert our ratio to whole numbers as well. We can do this by multiplying each number in the ratio by 10, which gives us 75:112:136.
So, the ratio of the increased quantity of apples, oranges, and bananas is 75:112:136.
