      Question

      The number of small to large packets in a store is in the

      ratio 3:4. If 18 more packets of each type are added, the ratio changes to 9:11. Find the original number of large packets.
      A 34 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 68 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the original number of small and large packets be ‘3x’ and ‘4x’, respectively.

      ATQ;

      (3x + 18) / (4x + 18) = (9/11)

      Or, 11 × (3x + 18) = 9 × (4x + 18)

      Or, 33x + 198 = 36x + 162

      Or, 3x = 36

      Or, x = 12

      So, the number of large packets originally = 4 × 12 = 48
