The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's define the variables and set up the equations based on the information provided in the question. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( A \) = Number of members in the Ambani family - \( S \) = Number of members in the Sahara family - \( E_A \) = Average earning per member of the Ambani family - \( E_S \) = Average earning per member of the Sahara family ### Step 2: Establish Relationships According to the problem: 1. The average earning of each member of the Ambani family is 20% less than that of the Sahara family: \[ E_A = E_S - 0.2E_S = 0.8E_S \] 2. The total earning of the Ambani family is 20% more than that of the Sahara family: \[ \text{Total earning of Ambani} = A \cdot E_A \] \[ \text{Total earning of Sahara} = S \cdot E_S \] \[ A \cdot E_A = 1.2 \cdot (S \cdot E_S) \] ### Step 3: Substitute the Average Earnings Substituting \( E_A \) in the total earning equation: \[ A \cdot (0.8E_S) = 1.2 \cdot (S \cdot E_S) \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Equation We can cancel \( E_S \) from both sides (assuming \( E_S \neq 0 \)): \[ 0.8A = 1.2S \] ### Step 5: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{A}{S} = \frac{1.2}{0.8} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 6: Find the Percentage Now, we need to find what percentage the number of members in the Sahara family is of the number of members in the Ambani family: \[ \frac{S}{A} = \frac{2}{3} \] To express this as a percentage: \[ \frac{S}{A} \times 100 = \frac{2}{3} \times 100 = 66.67\% \] ### Final Answer The number of family members in the Sahara family is **66.67%** of the number of family members in the Ambani family. ---
