Cole had to collect some fruits from two markets and deliver some fruits to another market. He collected from Market G and the ratio of passion fruits to chikoos was 2 : 5. When he reached Market H, he unloaded
910 of the chikoos and some passion fruits from his vehicle. The ratio of passion fruits to chikoos became 3 : 4. At Market J, 33 passion fruits and 29 chikoos were collected and the number of passion fruits to chikoos became the same.
- How many fruits were there on his vehicle after visiting Market J?
- How many passion fruits were delivered to Market H?

Comparing passion fruits and chikoos at first |
Market G |
2x8 = 16 u |
5x8 = 40 u |
Before 1 |
Market G |
16 u |
10x4 = 40 u |
Change 1 |
Market H |
- ? |
- 9x4 = - 36 u |
After 1 |
Market J |
3 u |
1x4 = 4 u |
Before 2 |
Market J |
3x1 = 3 u |
4x1 = 4 u |
Change 2 |
Market J |
+ 33 |
+ 29 |
After 2 |
Market J |
3 u + 33 |
4 u + 29 |
(a)
The number of chikoos after unloading at Market H is repeated. Make the number of chikoos left after unloading at Market H the same. LCM of 4 and 1 is 4.
The number of chikoos collected at Market G is repeated. Make the number of chikoos collected at Market G the same by multiplying 5 by 8.
The number of passion fruits and chikoos in the end is the same.
4 u + 29 = 3 u + 33
4 u - 3 u = 33 - 29
1 u = 4
Number of passion fruits on his vehicle after collecting from Market J
= 3 u + 33
= 3 x 4 + 33
= 12 + 33
= 45
Number of fruits on his vehicle after collecting from Market J
= 2 x 45
= 90
(b)
Number of passion fruits delivered to Market H
= 16 u - 3 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 4
= 52
Answer(s): (a) 90; (b) 52
