The total weight of six people of equal weights inside a car is 12% of the total weight of the car (inclusive of the six people inside). If three people get down from the car, what will be the ratio of the weight of people inside the car to the weight of the empty car?  Choices
A) 44 B) 45 C) 46 D) 47 E) 48
Ans. Assume total weight of the car along with people is 100kgs.   Then Total weight of 6 people is 12% of 100 = 12 kgs. So empty car weight = 88 kgs   That is, the weight of a single person = 12/6=

2 kgs.   If three people get down from the car, then there is a six kgs reduction in the total weight and the weight of the remaining people is only 6 kgs.   The required ratio= 6 : 88 = 3 : 44   44nswer 44
