The total number of fishes in a batch are 230. If the ratio of 5 categories of fishes is 5 : 5 : 4 : 3 : 6. Find the greatest difference between any two categories of fishes. Correct Answer 30

Let the ratio be in terms of x. The ratio 5 : 5 : 4 : 3 : 6 = 5x : 5x : 4x : 3x : 6x The maximum difference can be 6x – 3x = 3x Now5x + 5x + 4x + 3x + 6x = 230, 23x = 230 3x = 230 / 23 * 3 = 30
