Question
In a hostel, the number of senior and junior students are
in the ratio 4:3. If the number of seniors was reduced by 32 and the juniors increased by 16, then both groups would have the same number of students. What was the original number of junior students?Solution
ATQ,
Let the number of senior and junior students be '4n' and '3n', respectively.
So, 4n - 32 = 3n + 16
Or, 'n' = 48
Therefore, number of junior students = 48 × 3 = 144
