• B. 81
• C. 117
• D. 26

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 91

GIVEN:

Number of adults to total number of people ratio = 2 : 9

CALCULATION:

Let the number of adult be 2x and,

Total number of people be = 9x.

⇒ Total number of children = 9x – 2x = 7x

According to question there are 65 more children than adults

⇒ 7x – 2x = 65

⇒ x = 13

∴ Total number of children = 7 $\times$ 13 = 91
