Question

51.Tandin Dorji was married to five women. First woman had three
daughters and five sons and the youngest wife had two sons. Two
of the remaining wives had one son each. If the ratio of children of
5th wife was 1:3 with the children of other wives. How many
children does Tandin have

Answer 1

Answer:

Tandin has 16 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total of children:

3+5 = 8(first woman)

2(youngest wife)

1 + 1 = 2(two of the  remaining wives)

So

8 + 2 + 2 = 12

If the ratio of children of  5th wife was 1:3 with the children of other wives.

Thus the 5th wife has 12/3 = 4 children.

How many  children does Tandin have?

12 + 4 = 16

Tandin has 16 children.
