In a college, seats of computers, electronics and mathematics are in ratio 1 ∶ 2 ∶ 3. There is an order to increase the seats. If seats of computers, electronics and mathematics are increased by 20%, 10% and 5%, what is the ratio of seats after increment?

Given,
Ratios of Seats of computer, electronics and mathematics in a college = 1 ∶ 2 ∶ 3
Increment in the seats of computer = 20%
Increment in the seats of electronics = 10%
Increment in the seats of mathematics = 5%
Concept used,
If 'a' seats are increased by b%, then total seats = a + {(a × b)/100}
Calculation
Let seats of computer, electronics and mathematics are X, 2X and 3X.
Seats of Computer after increment = X + 20% of X
⇒ X + {(20 × X)/100}
⇒ 120X/100
Seats of Electronics after increment = 2X + 10% of 2X
⇒ 2X + {(10 × 2X)/100}
⇒ 220X/100
Seats of Mathematics after increment = 3X + 5% of X
⇒ 3X + {(5 × 3X)/100}
⇒ 315X/100
Ratio after increment = (120X/100) ∶ (220X/100) ∶ (315X/100)
⇒ 24 ∶ 44 ∶ 63
∴ Required ratio is 24 ∶ 44 ∶ 63
