There are 361 saplings of Mango and Neem in a garden. The ratio of the number of Mango saplings to that of Neem saplings is 8 : 11. How many Neem saplings are there in the garden? Correct Answer 209
Trick:
Neem saplings = 361 × 11/19 = 209
Detailed solution:
Let the number of Neem saplings be x.
⇒ The number of Mango saplings = 361 – x
The ratio of the number of Mango saplings to that of Neem saplings is 8 : 11,
⇒ (361 – x) /x = 8/11
⇒ 11(361 – x) = 8x
⇒ 3971 – 11x = 8x
⇒ 3971 = 19x
∴ x = 209
