The ratio of number of veg customers to non-veg customers is 5 : 3. If there is increase in veg customers and non-veg customers by 10% and 500 respectively. If the total customers after increase is 3050 then what is the difference between veg customers and non-veg customers before increase? Correct Answer 600

Let the veg and the non-veg customers be A and B respectively.

Given,

⇒ A/B = 5/3

⇒ A × 10/100 + A + B + 500 = 3050

⇒ A + 10A + 10B + 5000 = 30500

⇒ 11A + 10B = 25500

⇒ 11A + 10(3A/5) = 25500

⇒ 11A + 6A = 25500

⇒ A = 1500

⇒ B = 1500 × 3/5

⇒ B = 900

Required difference between the customers = 1500 – 900 = 600
