Zara had some apples and oranges in 2 crates. In Crate Q, the number of apples to the number of oranges was in the ratio of 5 : 6. In Crate R, there were twice as many apples as oranges. After Zara transferred
13 of the oranges from Crate Q to Crate R, the number of fruits left in Crate Q was 126 and the ratio of the number of apples to the number of oranges in Crate B became 6 : 7. How many fruits were in Crate R in the end?

Before |
5 u |
6 u |
2x3 = 6 p |
1x3 = 3 p |
Change |
|
- 2 u |
|
+ 2 u (+ 4 p) |
After |
5 u |
4 u |
6x1 = 6 p |
7x1 = 7 p |
Number of oranges that Zara transferred from Crate Q to Crate R
=
13 x 6 u
= 2 u
Total number of fruits in Crate Q in the end
= 5 u + 4 u
= 9 u
9 u = 126
1 u = 126 ÷ 9 = 14
The number of apples in Crate R is the unchanged quantity.
LCM of 2 and 6 is 6.
Number of oranges that Zara transferred from Crate Q to Crate R
= 2 u
= 2 x 14
= 28
Increase in the number of oranges that due to the transfer from Crate Q to Crate R
= 7 p - 3 p
= 4 p
4 p = 2 u
4 p = 28
1 p = 28 ÷ 4 = 7
Number of fruits in Crate R in the end
= 6 p + 7 p
= 13 p
= 13 x 7
= 91
Answer(s): 91
