There are at least 200 apples in a grocery store. The ratio of the number of oranges to the number of apples is 9 to 10. How many oranges could there be in the store?
Indicate all possible choices.
A. 171
B. 180
C. 216
D. 252
E. 315
Ratio of oranges to apples is 9:10, so oranges should be a multiple of 9..
Here all choices are multiple of 9 so all fit in the bill on this aspect.
Now atleast means there would be a lower range..
So let comm ratio be x so 9x : 10x....
If \(10x/geq{200}.....x/geq{20}\)..
So lowest value of x is 20, so least number of oranges is 9x=9*20=180
So A is out
Ans B,C,D,E
