Find the ratio between the number of pens and number of notebooks in a box.1. 3 : 42. 2 : 33. 1 : 24. 2 : 65. 4 : 3

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2 : 3

Given:

Let number of pens and number of notebooks in a box be a and (100 - a) respectively.

Calculation:

⇒ 20 × a + (100 - a) × 30 = 2600

⇒ 20a + 3000 - 30a = 2600

⇒ a = 40

The number of pens in a box = 40

The number of notebooks in a box = 100 - 40 = 60

∴ Required ratio = 40 : 60 = 2 : 3.
