Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Number of students in the first hall having 5 marbles = 396
Number of students in the first hall having 7 marbles = 225
Number of children with 5 marbles who moved to the second hall = 198
Number of children with 7 marbles who moved to the second hall = 225
Calculation:
Number of marbles in second hall = (225 × 7 + 198 × 5)
Number of marbles in the first hall = {(396 - 198) × 5} = 198 × 5
Hence, The ratio of the number of marbles in the second hall to that in the first hall
⇒ (225 × 7 + 198 × 5)/(198 × 5)
⇒ [(1575 + 990)/(990)]
⇒ (2565/990) = 57 : 22
∴ The required ratio is 57 ∶ 22.
