    A mess contractor can either serve 450 students with the meal that he prepares or can cater to 270 cops with the same meal. If 300 students have already eaten in the mess, how many cops can be fed with the remaining meal?

    A) 20                    

    B) 45     

    C) 90                    

    D) 180

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Sol.      [c] Ratio of eating capacity of a student to a cop= 450:270 =5:3 Number of student already eaten the meal =300 Number of student left = 450 - 300 = 150 Now, let the required number of cops be x.             \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\frac{150}{x}\,=\,\frac{5}{3}\,\Rightarrow \,90\] \[\therefore \] 90 cops can be fed by remaining meal.
