Ram distributed a certain number of toffees among his sisters Rita, Sonali, and Sona in the ratio 3 : 3 : 7. Sona distributed the toffee that he received among his friends Raju, Rohan, and Ratan in the ratio 1 : 3 : 4 respectively. If Raju received 28 toffees. How many toffees distributed by Ram? Correct Answer 416

Given:

Ram distributed toffees are in ratio = 3 : 3 : 7

Sona distributed toffees are in ratio = 1 : 3 : 4

Concept:

Ratio proportion

Calculation:

⇒ Let be assume Ram has a P number of toffees

⇒ Sona received (7/13)th of the number of toffees distributed by Ram.

⇒ Raju received (1/8)th of the number of toffees distributed by Sona.

⇒ (1/8) × (7/13) × P = 28, P = 416

∴ The required result will be 416.
