Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : A

Given:

Original Number of nurses = 27

Ratio of nurse to the patients = 1 ∶ 6

Concept used:

Using the concept of ratio

Calculation:

Let the maximum number of patient be x.

Original Number of nurses = 27

New number of nurses = 27 – 1 

⇒ New number of nurses = 26

According to the question,

Nurse ∶ Patient = 1 ∶ 6

⇒ 26/x = 1/6

⇒ x = 156

∴ The maximum patients can be admitted is 156.
