The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the information given about the average earnings and total earnings of the Ambani and Sahara families. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( A \) = Average earning of each member of Ambani family - \( S \) = Average earning of each member of Sahara family - \( N_A \) = Number of members in Ambani family - \( N_S \) = Number of members in Sahara family - \( T_A \) = Total earning of Ambani family - \( T_S \) = Total earning of Sahara family ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations From the problem, we know: 1. The average earning of each member of Ambani family is 20% less than that of Sahara family: \[ A = S - 0.2S = 0.8S \] 2. The total earning of Ambani family is 20% more than that of Sahara family: \[ T_A = T_S + 0.2T_S = 1.2T_S \] ### Step 3: Express Total Earnings in Terms of Averages The total earnings can also be expressed in terms of average earnings and the number of members: \[ T_A = A \times N_A \] \[ T_S = S \times N_S \] ### Step 4: Substitute the Expressions Substituting the expressions for total earnings into the second equation: \[ A \times N_A = 1.2(S \times N_S) \] ### Step 5: Substitute the Value of A Now substitute \( A = 0.8S \) into the equation: \[ (0.8S) \times N_A = 1.2(S \times N_S) \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Equation We can cancel \( S \) from both sides (assuming \( S \neq 0 \)): \[ 0.8N_A = 1.2N_S \] ### Step 7: Rearrange to Find the Ratio Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{N_S}{N_A} = \frac{0.8}{1.2} = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 8: Convert to Percentage To find the percentage of the number of family members in Sahara compared to Ambani: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{N_S}{N_A}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \times 100 = 66.67\% \] ### Final Answer The number of family members in the Sahara is 66.67% of the number of family members of Ambani. ---
