Download Solution PDFGiven:
Ratio of pens to pencils = 7 : 6
Number of pencils = 180
Formula used:
Let the number of pens be 7x and the number of pencils be 6x
Calculations:
Number of pencils = 6x = 180
⇒ x = \(\dfrac{180}{6}\) = 30
Number of pens = 7x = 7 × 30 = 210
Total number of pens and pencils = 210 + 180 = 390
∴ The correct answer is option (3).
