Question

In basket, $\frac{3^{th}}{4}$ of the total fruits are apples, $\frac{2^{nd}}{3}$ of the remaining are peach and the rest $300$ are oranges. Find the total number of fruits in the basket.

• A. $2000$
• B. $2400$
• C. $3000$
• D. $3600$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$3600$

Let total be $x$
Apple $=\frac{3}{4}x$
Remaining fruits$=\frac{x}{4}$
Peaches$=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{x}{4}=\frac{x}{6}$
Remaining fruits $=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{x}{4}=300$
$\Rightarrow x=12\times 300=3600$

Hence, option $D$ is the correct answer.
