Question 65

When Chimay visited Chowpati at Mumbai on a holiday, he observed that the ratio of North Indian food stalls to South Indian food stalls is 5 : 4. If the total number of food stalls is 117, find the number of each type of food stalls.

Answer 1

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 $=\frac{4}{9}\times 117=52$
