1. A fruit salad mixture consists of apples, peaches, and grapes in the ratio 6:5:2, respectively, by weight. If 39 pounds of the mixture is prepared, the mixture includes how many more pounds of apples than grapes?

  • A. 15
  • B. 15
  • C. 15
  • D. 15

Answer: Option B

Explanation:


Let, apples = 6x,   peaches = 5x,   grapes = 2x

6x+5x+2x = 39

          x = 3

apples-grapes = 6x-2x

                             = 4x

                             = 4*3

                             = 12 (Ans)
