Question

John has 30 marbles, 18 of which are red and 12 of which are blue. Jane has 20 marbles, all of them either red or blue. If the ratio of the red marbles to the blue marbles is the same for both John and Jane, then how many more marbles does John have than Jane?

Answer 1

Answer:

In △ABC AB=AC

⇒∠B=∠C (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

Now using angle sum property

∠A+∠B+∠C=180

∘

⇒80

∘

+∠C+∠C=180

∘

⇒2∠C=180

∘

−80

∘

⇒∠C=

2

100

∘

=50

∘

now ∠C+∠x=180

∘

(Angles made on straight line (AC) are supplementary)

⇒50

∘

+∠x=180

∘

⇒∠x=180

∘

−50

∘

=130
