If a wholesaler distributes items to several outlets (A, B, C and D) in the ratio of 1/10 : 1/11 : 1/15 : 1/16, then find the total number of items the wholesaler distributes?
Answer/Solution
845
Steps/Work
Here, A : B : C : D = 1/10 : 1/11 : 1/15 : 1/16
1) L.C.M of 10, 11, 15,16 is 2640
2) Find the number of books each friend received --------- (To find no. of books each friend has, multiply the ratio with the L.C.M. calculated)
A = (1/10) x 2640 = 264
B = (1/11) x 2640 = 240
C = (1/15) x 2640 = 176
D = (1/16) x 2640 = 165
3) Total number of toys = (264 x + 240 x + 176 x + 165 x) = 845 x
Minimum number of pens (x) = 1
Therefore, total number of items = 845 items.
Correct option :C
1) L.C.M of 10, 11, 15,16 is 2640
2) Find the number of books each friend received --------- (To find no. of books each friend has, multiply the ratio with the L.C.M. calculated)
A = (1/10) x 2640 = 264
B = (1/11) x 2640 = 240
C = (1/15) x 2640 = 176
D = (1/16) x 2640 = 165
3) Total number of toys = (264 x + 240 x + 176 x + 165 x) = 845 x
Minimum number of pens (x) = 1
Therefore, total number of items = 845 items.
Correct option :C
