Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions. The given missing table shows the number of five different dry fruits packets i.e. cashews, dates, walnuts, raisins and almonds sold in four different months (January, February, March and April).

If the number of dates and almond packets sold in January is 18% of the number of five different dry fruits packets sold in January and the ratio of the number of dates and almond packets sold in January is 5:4 and then find the number of dates packets sold in January?

a)            64

b)            62

c)            60

d)            66

e)            None of these

Sol:

The number of cashews, walnuts and raisins

packets sold in January=152+124+216 =492

The number of dates and almond packets sold in

January=492*18/(100-18)=492*18/82 =108

The number of dates packets sold in

January=108*5/9=60
