Question : 54 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

A box of sweets was distributed between A and B in the ratio 3 : 4. If A got 36 sweets, what was the total number of sweets?

Solution:

Let the number of sweets be x.
A : B = 3 : 4
Sum of the terms of ratio
= 3 + 4 = 7
∴ A’s share =

{3x}/7

∴

{3x}/7

= 36
⇒ 3x = 36 × 7
⇒ x =

{36×7}/3

= 84
