Question:

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?

Options:

2 : 3 : 7

1 : 1 : 1

1 : 3 : 5

1 : 1 : 2

Correct Answer:

1 : 1 : 2

Explanation:

Original Ratio of all stock = 8 : 9 : 15

Ratio of remaining stock  =  75% x 8 : 66.66% x 9 : 80% x 15

                                        = \(\frac{3}{4}\) x 8 : \(\frac{2}{3}\) x 9 : \(\frac{4}{5}\) x 15

                                        = 6 : 6 : 12 = 1 : 1 : 2
