Actors

In a local theatrical production, the ratio of professional actors to amateur actors is 2:9. If the director were to hire two additional professionals and keep all amateurs in the cast, the ratio of professional to amateurs would be 1:4. How many total actors (professional and amateur) are in the cast of this production?

A) 11
B) 18
C) 21
D) 22
E) 33

Ans: D

Are you sure the ratio is 1:4 and not 1:3?

PLUG IN THE VALUES

i start from D (coincidence D is the OA )

P/A=2/9

now, P+A=22

P=(2/11)*22=4

A=18

NOW IF P IS ADDED WITH 2, THEN THE TOTAL WOULD BE 24 (PRO + ACT)
BUT THE THE amateur number i unchanged

that makes 6 profesianals and 18 amatuer

that makes the ratio 1:3

I think vishubn only makes a counter-example to show the ratio is wrong.

Either the answer choices are wrong or the ratio is wrong.

If the ratio is right the answer is supposed to be 88.

Am I right guys

P = no of Profsnl Actors
A= no of amateur Actors

P/A = 2 /9

P=2x
A= 9x

(2x+2)/9x = 1/4

8x+8=9x
x=8

P=16
A=72

Total = P+A = 88
