If 391 bananas were distributed among three monkeys in the ratio of 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, then how many bananas did the first monkey get?1. 1042. 1123. 1084. 102

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 102

Given:

Number of bananas distributed = 391

The ratio of distribution = 1/2 ∶ 2/3 ∶ 3/4

Calculation:

For converting the fractions into whole numbers in ratio let's take the LCM of the denominators.

LCM (2, 3,4) = 12

Ratio = 6 ∶ 8 ∶ 9

Let the number of bananas each monkey gets be 6x, 8x, and 9x.

Total number of bananas, 6x + 8x + 9x = 391

x = 391/23 = 17

Number of bananas first monkey got = 6x = 102 bananas

The number of bananas first monkey got is 102.
