Answer» There are 396 CHILDREN with 5 MARBLES. If 198 children with 5 marbles move to second hall, there will be 198 children left in FIRST hall with 5 marbles. ⇒ Number of marbles in second hall = (225 × 7 + 198 × 5) ⇒ Number of marbles in first hall = (198 × 5) + (5 × 7) ∴ Ratio of number of marbles in second hall to that in first hall = (225 × 7 + 198 × 5)/ (198 × 5) + (5 × 7) ⇒ 2565/1025 = 513 : 205 |
