Question

Ravi and Saurav share 55 chocolates in the ratio of 6 : 5. Find the ratio of chocolates between Ravi and Rajni, if Rajni has 20 chocolates.

• A. 2 : 3
• B. 5 : 6
• C. 3 : 2
• D. 6 : 5

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3 : 2

Ratio of chocolates shared between Ravi and Saurav is 6:5
Total parts = 6 + 5 = 11
Given 11 parts = 55
Hence each part = $\frac{55}{11}$ = 5
$\therefore$ Ravi's share = 6 x 5 = 30
Given that Rajni has 20 chocolates

So, ratio of chocolates with Ravi to that with Rajni
= $\frac{20}{30}$

=$\frac{2}{3}$

= 2 : 3
