Question

the no. of tigers & deers in a zoo are in a ratio of 2:9. if the actual difference between tigers & deers is 21, find the no. of each.

Answer 1

6 tigers and 27 deers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common ratio be x (x≠0)

Then the number becomes 2x & 9x

Given that their difference is 21

ATP

9x - 2x =21

7x = 21

x = 21/7

x=3

No. of tigers = 2x = 6

No. of deers = 9x = 27
