Question

In a colony, people have three types of vehicles-scooters, cycles and cars. Two-thirds of
the vehicles are scooters. Of the remaining vehicles three-fourths are cycles. What fraction
of vehicles are cars? If the total number of vehicles is 4 836, how many cars are there in
the colony?
​

Answer 1

3 types

2/3 of total are scooters

3/4 of 1/3 of total are cycles, i.e. 3/12 of total are cycles

if 3/4 of remaining are cycles, 1/4 of remaining are cars, i.e, 1/4 of 1/3 are cars

cars = 1/12 of 4836

cars = 403
