Question

Five mangoes and four guavas cost as much as three mangoes and seven guavas. What is the ratio of the cost of one mango to the cost of one guava?

Options

• 1 : 3

• 3 : 2

• 4 : 3

• 5 : 2

Answer 1

3 : 2

Explanation:

If mango and guava prices are m and g, then 5m + 4g = 3m + 7g, so 2m = 3g. Thus m : g = 3 : 2.
