Question

A group of 1200 persons consisting of captains and soldiers is traveling in a train. For every 15 soldiers there is one captain. Then, the number of captains in the group is?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total persons consisting of captains and soldiers = 1200 persons

                   15 soldiers = 1 captain

so, 1 group  = 15+1 = 16 person

that means

  16 persons   =  1 group

1200 persons  =  1200 / 16 = 75 groups

so there are totally  75 captains in the group

and (75 x 15 )    = 1125 soldiers are there in this group
