Answer:
4200 Sinhalese people in the city
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio --> 6:3:2
Let Sinhalas be 6x,
Tamil be 3x and
Muslims be 2x.
Total population = 7700.
Thus, 6x + 3x + 2x = 7700
11x = 7700
∴ x = 7700/11 => 700.
Thus, Sinhalas = 6x = 6(700) => 4200
Tamil = 3x = 3(700) => 2100
Muslims = 2x = 2(700) => 1400
Therefore, there are 4200 Sinhalese people in the city.
