In a box, there are several balls. The pie-chart shows the percentage-wise distribution of 5 different colours of balls; and total number of balls = 1000. Also, the ratio of the light and dark shades of the six colours of balls is given.

What is the ratio of dark pink balls to the dark green balls?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

For Pink balls (12% of total):

Total pink balls = 0.12×1000=1200.12 \times 1000 = 120 balls

Ratio of light:dark pink = 1:71:7

Total parts of pink = 1+7=81 + 7 = 8 parts

Dark pink balls = 78×120=105\frac{7}{8} \times 120 = 105 balls

For Green balls (18% of total):

Total green balls = 0.18×1000=1800.18 \times 1000 = 180 balls

Ratio of light:dark green = 1:31:3

Total parts of green = 1+3=41 + 3 = 4 parts

Dark green balls = 34×180=135\frac{3}{4} \times 180 = 135 balls

Therefore, ratio of dark pink balls to dark green balls = 105:135105:135

Simplifying 105:135=7:9105:135 = 7:9
