The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the ratio of the total collection before and after the changes in ticket price and number of visitors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables for Ticket Price and Visitors:** - Let the initial cost of the entry ticket be \(10x\). - Let the present cost of the entry ticket be \(13x\). - Let the initial number of visitors be \(6y\). - Let the present number of visitors be \(5y\). 2. **Calculate Initial Total Collection:** - The initial total collection can be calculated as: \[ \text{Initial Total Collection} = \text{Cost of Ticket} \times \text{Number of Visitors} = 10x \times 6y = 60xy \] 3. **Calculate Present Total Collection:** - The present total collection can be calculated as: \[ \text{Present Total Collection} = \text{Cost of Ticket} \times \text{Number of Visitors} = 13x \times 5y = 65xy \] 4. **Find the Ratio of Total Collections:** - The ratio of the initial total collection to the present total collection is: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Initial Total Collection}}{\text{Present Total Collection}} = \frac{60xy}{65xy} \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{60}{65} = \frac{12}{13} \] 5. **Interpret the Result:** - This means that the total collection has increased in the ratio of \(12:13\). ### Final Answer: The total collection has increased in the ratio of \(12:13\).
