Answer 1

Answer:

The number of people working in army,navy and airforce are 24000,9600,14400 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of people in the defence service= 48000

Given ratio of people working in army,navy and air force is 5:2:3

Let the number of people working in army be 5x,

the number of people working in navy be 2x

and the number of people working in air force be 3x.

Then, according to the question

5x+2x+3x=48000

10x=48000

x=48000/10

x= 4800

Hence,the number of people working in army is 5x is 5*4800=24000

Number of people working in navy is 2x is 2*4800=9600

Number of people working in air force is 3x is 3*4800=14400

By supposing the number of people in each army,navy,airforce by given ratio ,we can find the number of people in each.

Here, in the above question we have supposed the people in army,navy,airforce be 5x, 2x,3x respectively according to the ratio given.
