A person spends ₹ 8100 in buying some tables at ₹ 1200 each and some chairs at ₹ 300 each. The ratio of the number of chairs to that of tables when the maximum possible number of tables is purchased, is
(a)1 : 2
(b)1 : 4
(c)2 : 1
(d)5 : 7
Answer
Answer (as printed): A
Explanation
Maximum possible number of tables $=6$. $[\because 1200 \times 6=7200]$. Number of chairs purchased $=\frac{8100-7200}{300}=\frac{900}{300}=3$. Hence, required ratio $=3: 6=1: 2$.
