    In an orchard, 70% of the trees are orange trees. The

    number of guava trees is 30% of the orange trees, and the number of banana trees is 50% of the number of guava trees. If the number of banana trees is 105, find the total number of trees in the orchard.
    A 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2620 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let total number of trees in the orchard be 100x

    Number of orange trees = 0.70 × 100x = 70x

    Number of guava trees = 0.30 × 70x = 21x

    Number of banana trees = 0.50 × 21x = 10.5x

    So, 10.5x = 105

    x = 10

    Total number of trees in the orchard = 100x = 1000
