Question 65
Pinky is standing in a queue at a ticket counter. Suppose the ratio of the number of persons standing ahead of Pinky to the number of persons standing behind her in the queue is 3 : 5. If the total number of persons in the queue is less than 300, then the maximum possible number of persons standing ahead of Pinky is
Correct Answer: 111
Solution
Let the number of persons standing ahead and behind of Pinky be 3a and 5a.
Total number of persons = 3a + 5a + 1(including pinky) = 8a + 1
8a + 1 < 300
8a < 299
a < 37.375
Maximum value a can take is 37.
The maximum possible number of persons standing ahead of Pinky = 3a = 3*37 = 111
