  • Question
  • A person distributes his pens among four friends A, B, C and D in the ratio 1/3 : 1 / 4 : 1/5 : 1/6. What is the minimum number of pens that the person should have?


  • Options
  • A. 75
  • B. 45
  • C. 57
  • D. 65

  • Correct Answer
  • 57 

    Explanation

    The ratio among A, B, C and D = 1/3 : 1 / 4 : 1/5 : 1/6
    On rearranging the ratio = 60/3 : 60/4: 60/5 : 60/6 = 20 : 15 : 12 : 10
    So minimum number of pens can be when the common ration is 1.
    So minimum number of pen = 20 + 15 + 12 + 10 = 57
