Pamela had some passion fruits and mangoes in 2 containers. In Container E, the number of passion fruits to the number of mangoes was in the ratio of 5 : 6. In Container F, there were twice as many passion fruits as mangoes. After Pamela transferred
23 of the mangoes from Container E to Container F, the number of fruits left in Container E was 105 and the ratio of the number of passion fruits to the number of mangoes in Container B became 6 : 7. How many fruits were in Container F in the end?

Before |
5 u |
6 u |
2x3 = 6 p |
1x3 = 3 p |
Change |
|
- 4 u |
|
+ 4 u (+ 4 p) |
After |
5 u |
2 u |
6x1 = 6 p |
7x1 = 7 p |
Number of mangoes that Pamela transferred from Container E to Container F
=
23 x 6 u
= 4 u
Total number of fruits in Container E in the end
= 5 u + 2 u
= 7 u
7 u = 105
1 u = 105 ÷ 7 = 15
The number of passion fruits in Container F is the unchanged quantity.
LCM of 2 and 6 is 6.
Number of mangoes that Pamela transferred from Container E to Container F
= 4 u
= 4 x 15
= 60
Increase in the number of mangoes that due to the transfer from Container E to Container F
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
4 p = 4 u
4 p = 60
1 p = 60 ÷ 4 = 15
Number of fruits in Container F in the end
= 6 p + 7 p
= 13 p
= 13 x 15
= 195
Answer(s): 195
