Anand divided 70 sweets among his daughters Rohini and Sushma in the ratio 4 : 3. How many sweets did Rohini get?
Explanation:
Since, the ratio of sweets that Rohini and Sushma get is 4 : 3, let the number of sweets received by Rohini is 4x and Sushma is 3x.
According to question, 4x + 3x = 70
⇒ 7x = 70
⇒ x = 10
∴ Sweets received by Rohini = 4x = 4 × 10 = 40.
Alternately,
Number of sweets that Rohini got = 44+3 × 70 = 40
Hence, option (b).
