candies, how many candies will A get?
i. 98
ii. 112
126
iv. 132​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

• Ratio divided between A:B = 9:11
• Total candies B get = 154

To Find :-

Total candies of A

Solution :-

Let the candies of A be x

$\sf \implies \: 9 \ratio11 = \dfrac{9}{11}$

$\sf \implies x \ratio \: 154 = \dfrac{x}{154}$

$\sf \implies \: \dfrac{9}{11} = \dfrac{x}{154}$

By cross multiplication

$\sf \implies \: 9 \times 154 = x \times 11$

$\sf \implies \: 1386 = 11x$

$\sf \implies \: x = \dfrac{1386}{11}$

$\sf \implies \: x = \cancel \dfrac{1386}{11}$

${ \pink {\mathfrak {x = 126}}} \star$

Therefore :-

Correct Option (C).

Answer 2

Given : Afrin divides some candies among A and B in the ratio 9:11

B gets 154  candies

To find  :  How many candies will A get

i.     98

ii.     112

iii.   126

iv.   132​

Solution:

Let say A gets  candies = 9C

then B gets Candies  = 11C

Total Candies = 20C

B gets 154  candies

=> 11C  = 154

=> C = 14

A get candies = 9C

=> A gets candies = 9 x 14

=> A gets candies = 126

Total candies = 20C = 280

A gets candies = 126

option iii is correct
