Solution

Given, ratio of North Indian food stalls to South Indian food stalls = 5 : 4
Total number of food stalls = 117
Sum of parts of the ratio = 5 + 4 = 9
Hence, number of North Indian food stalls $= \frac{5}{9} \times 117 = 65$
And number of South Indian food stalls $= \frac{4}{9} \times 117 = 52$
