    Question

    A farmer had cows and goats in the ratio 8:11. He had 60

    more goats than cows. Later, he sold 12 cows and 18 goats. What is the ratio of the number of goats left to the number of cows left?
    A 125:49 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 101:74 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 148:55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 102:19 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the original number of cows and goats be '8x' and '11x', respectively

    According to the question,

    11x - 8x = 60

    So, x = 60 ÷ 3 = 20

    So, original number of cows and goats = 160 and 220, respectively

    Required ratio = (220 - 18):(160 - 12) = 202:148 = 101:74
