Question 2 A school library has books in different languages in the following ratio — no. of Odiya books : no. of Hindi books : no. of English books :: 3 : 2 : 1. If the library has 288 Odiya books, how many Hindi and English books does it have? Given ratio 3 : 2 : 1 Here, only Odiya books are given We find Value of 1 part from it Now, Value of 1 part = (𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑂𝑑𝑖𝑎 𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑠)/(𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑂𝑑𝑖𝑎 𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑠) = 288/3 = 96 Thus, Number of Hindi books = Part of Hindi books × Value of 1 part = 2 × 96 = 192 books Number of English books = Part of English books × Value of 1 part = 1 × 96 = 96 books
