Question

14. The ratio of cars to two wheelers in a city is 3 : 2. If there are 1,50,000 cars, find the number of two wheelers in the city.​

Answer 1

Given:

• The ratio of cars of two-wheelers in a city is 3:2
• The total number of cars is 150000 in the city.

To find:

• The number of two-wheelers in the city.

Let the number of cars be 3x

And let the number of two-wheelers be 2x

As given the number of cars in the city is,

⇒ 3x = 150000

⇒ x = 150000 ÷ 3

[By transporting 3 to RHS]

⇒ x = 50000

Thus,

The value of x is 50000

Now,

The value of two-wheelers in the city is

= 2x

= 2 * 50000

= 100000

Hence,

The number of two-wheelers in the city is 100000.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• Ratio of cars and two wheelers = 3:2
• Total cars = 1,50,000

To Find :-

Numbers of two wheeler

SoluTion :-

Let the ratio be 3x and 2x.

$\tt \: 3x = 150000$

$\tt \: x \: = \dfrac{150000}{3}$

$\frak {x \: = 50000}$

Now,

Total number of 2 wheeler

$\tt \implies \: 2x = 2(50000)$

$\frak \red{two \: wheeler = 100000}$

Hence :-

Total 10,0000 are there
