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)

∴ Ratio of number of marbles in second hall to that in first hall = (225 × 7 + 198 × 5)/(198 × 5)

⇒ [(225 × 7)/(198 × 5)] + 1 = (35/22) + 1 = 57 : 22
