Question 80

The ratio of number of cans of orange, pineapple and mixed fruit juices kept in a store is 8 : 9 : 15. If the store sells 25%, 33.33% and 20% of orange, pineapple and mixed fruit juices cans respectively, then what is the ratio of number of cans of these juices in the remaining stock?

Solution

Let number of cans of orange, pineapple and mixed fruit juices be 8,9 and 15 respectively.

The store sells 25% orange, => Orange sold = $$\frac{25}{100}\times8=2$$

=> Orange left = $$8-2=6$$

Similarly, pineapple left = $$9-\frac{1}{3}\times9=6$$

and mixed fruit left = $$15-\frac{20}{100}\times15=12$$

$$\therefore$$ Required ratio = 6:6:12 = 1:1:2

=> Ans - (A)
