Asher had to collect some fruits from two marts and deliver some fruits to another mart. He collected from Mart J and the ratio of chikoos to kiwis was 1 : 3. When he reached Mart K, he unloaded ⁵₆ of the kiwis and some chikoos from his van. The ratio of chikoos to kiwis became 1 : 2. At Mart L, 49 chikoos and 34 kiwis were collected and the number of chikoos to kiwis became the same.

1. How many fruits were there on his van after visiting Mart L?
2. How many chikoos were delivered to Mart K?

	Location	Chikoos	Kiwis
Comparing chikoos and kiwis at first	Mart J	1x4 = 4 u	3x4 = 12 u
Before 1	Mart J	4 u	6x2 = 12 u
Change 1	Mart K	- ?	- 5x2 = - 10 u
After 1	Mart L	1 u	1x2 = 2 u
Before 2	Mart L	1x1 = 1 u	2x1 = 2 u
Change 2	Mart L	+ 49	+ 34
After 2	Mart L	1 u + 49	2 u + 34

(a)
The number of kiwis after unloading at Mart K is repeated.  Make the number of kiwis left after unloading at Mart K the same.  LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.

The number of kiwis collected at Mart J is repeated.  Make the number of kiwis collected at Mart J the same by multiplying 3 by 4. 
 
The number of chikoos and kiwis in the end is the same.

2 u + 34 = 1 u + 49
2 u - 1 u = 49 - 34

1 u = 15

Number of chikoos on his van after collecting from Mart L
= 1 u + 49
= 1 x 15 + 49
= 15 + 49
= 64

Number of fruits on his van after collecting from Mart L
= 2 x 64 
= 128 

(b)
Number of chikoos delivered to Mart K
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
= 3 x 15
= 45

Answer(s): (a) 128; (b) 45
