If 214 apples were distributed among Ajay, Amit, and Amar in the ratio 1/5: 1/7: 1/6, how many apples did the Amar get?
Correct Answer:
B. 70
Explanation:
To find the number of apples Amar received, first determine the common denominator for the ratios 1/5, 1/7, and 1/6, which is 210. Converting the ratios gives 42/210 : 30/210 : 35/210, establishing a whole number ratio of 42:30:35 for Ajay, Amit, and Amar. Summing these parts (42 + 30 + 35) equals 107 total units. Since the total number of apples is 214, each unit represents 2 apples (214 / 107 = 2). Therefore, Amar's share is 35 units multiplied by 2, resulting in 70 apples.
