Answer-Find the ratio of m:g.

In school A, Let total number of pencils and pens used be px and qx respectively. According to the question, px qx 40 120 qx 40 qx 80 Ratio px qx 120 80 32 Total number of pencils used px 120 Total number of pens used qx 80 In school B, Let total number of pencils and pens used be 3x and 2x respectively. According to the question, 3x 2x 90 x 90 So, 3x 270 and 2x 180 Now, m2 45 270 m2 225 m 15 Total number of pencils used 3x 270 Total number of pens used 2x 180 In school C, Let total number of pencils and pens used be gx and hx respectively. According to the question, gx 8m 70 gx 8 15 70 gx 50 So, hx 50 20 30 Ratio gx hx 50 30 53 Total number of pencils used gx 50 Total number of pens used hx 30 In school D, Let total number of pencils and pens used be tx and x respectively. According to the question, tx 75 So, tx x 50 75 - x 50 x 25 Ratio tx x 75 25 31 Total number of pencils used tx 75 Total number of pens used x 25 m 15 and g 5 Required ratio 155 31
