Question

the ratio of number of mango tree to chickoo tree in an orchard is 2:3 if 5 more trees of each type of are planted the ratio of trees would be 5:7 then find the number of mango and chickoo tree​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the original ratio be 2x/3x

So mango trees = 2x

and chickoo trees = 3x.

So ATQ

(2x + 5)/(3x +5) = 5/7

7(2x + 5) = 5(3x + 5)

14x + 35 = 15x + 25

35-25 = 15x - 14x

10 = x

So Mango trees = 2x = 2*10 = 20

and chickoo trees = 3x = 3*10 = 30

Hope this helps ☺️
