Answer:
Revised ratio = 2: 3 : 4
Step-by-step explanation:
vacancies for engineers, diploma and artisans were in the ratio of 5:7:8 and it was decided to increase by 40,50 and 75% . what will be the revised ratio
engineers : diploma : artisans ::: 5 : 7 : 8
Let say engineers Vacancies = 5x
Diploma Vacancies = 7x
Artisan Vacancies = 8x
Engineers Vacancies increased by 40%
5x + (40/100)5x = 7x
Diploma Vacancies increased by 50%
7x + (50/100)7x = 10.5x
Artisan Vacancies increased by 75%
8x + (75/100)8x = 14x
New Ration 7x : 10.5x : 14x
Multiplying by 2
14x : 21x : 28x
Dividing by 7x
2 : 3 : 4
Revised ratio = 2: 3 : 4
