Practicing Success
Study the given table carefully to answer the question that follows. The following table gives the information about the populations of five different cities in the year 2020.
In city R, among the children, the ratio of boys to girls was 2 : 3 and in city P, among the children, the ratio of boys to girls was 5 : 4. What was the total number of girls (among the children) in city P and city R together? |
6680 4160 6860 4610 |
6680 |
Number of children in city R = \(\frac{10 }{100}\) × 42000 = 4200 Ratio of boys to girls = 2 : 3 ATQ , 5R = 4200 1R = \(\frac{4200 }{5}\) = 840 Number of girls in R = 3R = 3 × 840 = 2520 Number of children in city P = \(\frac{20 }{100}\) × 46800 = 9360 Ratio of boys to girls = 5 : 4 9R = 9360 1R = \(\frac{9360 }{9}\) = 1040 Number of girls in P = 4R = 4 × 1040 = 4160 Total number of girls in city P & R = 2520 + 4160 = 6680 |
