    the ratio (1/7):(1/8):6:8. How many more toffees did the second highest recipient get than the lowest recipient?
    A 133 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C 346 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 241 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Given Ratio = (1/7):(1/8):6:8.

    Multiplying all values by 56 i.e. LCM of 7 and 8,

    The ratio becomes = 8:7:336:448

    So, number of toffees received by the second highest recipient = 840 × (336/799) = 353

    Number of toffees received by the least recipient = 840 × (7/799) = 7

    So, required difference = 353 - 7 = 346
