Question


A person bought 312 kg of apples, 223 kg of grapes and 113 kg of oranges. He wants to divide them among 4 people. Find the amount of fruits(in kg) that each person will receive.


Options:
A .   138 kg
B .   158 kg 
C .   178 kg 
D .   278 kg 
Answer: Option C
:
C

First, let us do the conversion of mixed fractions into improper fractions.
i.e  312=(2×3)+12=72
     
223=(3×2)+23=83, and 
     
113=(3×1)+13=43
Total quantity of fruits=(72+83+43) kg
                                     
                                      =72+4
                                      =72+82 kg
   
                                      =152 kg


When 152 kg is divided among 4 people,


each person's share =1524kg
                                 
                                  =(152×14)kg
                                  =158 kg
                                  =178 kg
Hence, each person gets (178) kg of fruits.
