The number of fruits in baskets A and
B are in the ratio 7 : 9. If six fruits are
taken out from A and put in B, then
this ratio becomes 1 : 3.
The total number of fruits in A and B
is​

Answer 1

Answer:

In A 14 fruits are there and in B 18 fruits are there

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 7x and 9x fruits are there in A and B respectively

Then, 7x-6/9x+6 = 1/3

3(7x-6)= 9x+6 ( cross multiplication)

21x - 18 = 9x +6

21x-9x= 18+6

12x = 24

x= 24/12

=2

x=2

7x = 7*2= 14

9x= 9*2= 18

A contains 14 fruits and B contains 18 fruits
