SSC CHSL 30th May 2022 Shift-1
Explanation:
- The ratio of black to white tablet covers is 5:9.
- There are 450 white tablet covers.
- Use the ratio to determine the number of black covers.
- Set up a proportion: \(\frac{5}{9} = \frac{x}{450}\).
- Solve for \(x\), where \(x\) is the number of black covers.
- Cross-multiply to get: \(9x = 5 \times 450\).
- Simplify: \(9x = 2250\).
- Divide both sides by 9: \(x = 250\).
- Option 4: 250 is correct.
