Irene had some chikoos and starfruits in 2 containers. In Container K, the number of chikoos to the number of starfruits was in the ratio of 4 : 9. In Container L, there were twice as many chikoos as starfruits. After Irene transferred ²₃ of the starfruits from Container K to Container L, the number of fruits left in Container K was 189 and the ratio of the number of chikoos to the number of starfruits in Container B became 7 : 8. How many fruits were in Container L in the end?

	Container K		Container L
	Chikoos	Starfruits	Chikoos	Starfruits
Before	4 u	9 u	2x7 =  14 p	1x7 = 7 p
Change		- 6 u		+ 6 u (+ 9 p)
After	4 u	3 u	7x2 = 14 p	8x2 = 16 p

Number of starfruits that Irene transferred from Container K to Container L
= ²₃ x 9 u
= 6 u

Total number of fruits in Container K in the end
= 4 u + 3 u
= 7 u

7 u = 189
1 u = 189 ÷ 7 = 27

The number of chikoos in Container L is the unchanged quantity.
LCM of 2 and 7 is 14.

Number of starfruits that Irene transferred from Container K to Container L
= 6 u
= 6 x 27
= 162

Increase in the number of starfruits that due to the transfer from Container K to Container L
= 16 p - 7 p
= 9 p

9 p = 6 u 
9 p = 162

1 p = 162 ÷ 9 = 18

Number of fruits in Container L in the end
= 14 p + 16 p
= 30 p
= 30 x 18
= 540

Answer(s): 540
