Question

A basket contains 60 oranges and apples. If there are 45 apples which of the following can not be the ratio between oranges and apples

Answer 1

Let us assume the fruits as X.

No. of apples will be 3X and No. of oranges will be 2X.

Total no. of fruits are 60 in ratio 3X:2X

Therefore 3X+2X=60

or X= 12

Therefore Apples are 36 and Oranges are 24
