Question

28 stamps were divided in some ratio between sachin and Farooq. which of these could be that ratio

Answer 1

Answer:

VERIFIED ANSWER :

Let, the ratio of stamps distributed to Sachin and Farooq be x : y. Now, we know that a stamp would be distributed as a whole. Hence, in order to get whole number, from 28x/(x + y) or, 28y/(x + y), 28 should be divisible by (x + y).

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the ratio of stamps distributed to Sachin and Farooq be x : y.

Then, Sachin gets

x/(x + y) × 28 stamps

and, Farooq gets

y/(x + y) × 28 stamps

(Ratio/(sum of ratios) × total = actual number)

Now, we know that a stamp would be distributed as a whole. Hence, in order to get whole number, from 28x/(x + y) or, 28y/(x + y), 28 should be divisible by (x + y).

Hence, the sum of ratios shod be factor of 28.

In the given options, only second option has sum of ratio (7) as a factor of 28. Hence, second option is the right answe
