Irene had some passion fruits and chikoos in 2 baskets. In Basket Y, the number of passion fruits to the number of chikoos was in the ratio of 5 : 9. In Basket Z, there were four times as many passion fruits as chikoos. After Irene transferred
13 of the chikoos from Basket Y to Basket Z, the number of fruits left in Basket Y was 275 and the ratio of the number of passion fruits to the number of chikoos in Basket B became 3 : 7. How many fruits were in Basket Z in the end?

Before |
5 u |
9 u |
4x3 = 12 p |
1x3 = 3 p |
Change |
|
- 3 u |
|
+ 3 u (+ 25 p) |
After |
5 u |
6 u |
3x4 = 12 p |
7x4 = 28 p |
Number of chikoos that Irene transferred from Basket Y to Basket Z
=
13 x 9 u
= 3 u
Total number of fruits in Basket Y in the end
= 5 u + 6 u
= 11 u
11 u = 275
1 u = 275 ÷ 11 = 25
The number of passion fruits in Basket Z is the unchanged quantity.
LCM of 4 and 3 is 12.
Number of chikoos that Irene transferred from Basket Y to Basket Z
= 3 u
= 3 x 25
= 75
Increase in the number of chikoos that due to the transfer from Basket Y to Basket Z
= 28 p - 3 p
= 25 p
25 p = 3 u
25 p = 75
1 p = 75 ÷ 25 = 3
Number of fruits in Basket Z in the end
= 12 p + 28 p
= 40 p
= 40 x 3
= 120
Answer(s): 120
