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. |
