    A warehouse had bags of rice and wheat in the ratio 12:17.

    The number of wheat bags was 125 more than rice bags. Later, 30 rice bags and 35 wheat bags were dispatched. What is the ratio of wheat bags left to rice bags left?
    A 25:49 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 13:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 48:55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12:19 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the original number of rice and wheat bags be '12x' and '17x', respectively

    According to the question,

    17x - 12x = 125

    So, x = 125 Ă· 5 = 25

    So, original number of rice and wheat bags = 300 and 425, respectively

    Required ratio = (425 - 35):(300 - 30) = 390:270 = 13:9
