A fruit seller has oranges, apples, and bananas in the ratio 3 : 6 : 7. If the number of oranges is a multiple of both 5 and 6, then the minimum number of fruits the seller has is:
Correct Answer: 160
A fruit seller has oranges, apples, and bananas in the ratio 3 : 6 : 7.
Let the quantities of oranges, apples, and bananas equal 3k, 6k, and 7k, respectively.
It is given that the number of oranges is a multiple of both 5 and 6.
That means oranges = 5*6*N = 30N
So, if oranges = 30N
Then, apples = 60N
bananas = 70N
The minimum number of fruits the seller has is = 30N+60N+70N = 160N
It depends on the value of N, and the minimum value of N can be 1.
So, minimum number if fruits that seller has = 160.
