The number of hens, ducks and goats in farm P are 65,91 and 169, respectively.


The number of hens, ducks, and goats on farm P is 65,91 and 169, respectively. The total number of hens, ducks, and goats in a nearby farm Q is 416. The ratio of hens: ducks: goats in farm Q is 5:14:13. All the hens, ducks, and goats are sent from farm Q to farm P.  The new ratio of hens: ducks: goats in farm P is ________


First, we can calculate the number of hens, ducks, and goats on farm Q.


Number of hens in farm Q=532×416=65

Number of ducks in farm Q=1432×416=182

Number of goats in farm Q=1332×416=169

Initially, the number of hens, ducks, and goats on farm P are 65,91 and 169 respectively.


All the hens, ducks, and goats are sent from farm Q to farm P.


Therefore, in farm P,


Number of hens =65+65=130

Number of ducks =91+182=273

Number of goats 



Number of hens =65+65=130

Number of ducks =91+182=273

Number of goats =169+169=338

∴ The required ratio =130:273:338=10:21:26


So, the correct answer is c
