5/9*630=350, which means 350 animals are tagged,
now, among the tagged animals, the ratio of mammals to birds is 6:1, which means there are 300 tagged mammals and 50 tagged birds,
therefore there are 200 untagged birds and 80 untagged mammals(630-350=280, 280-200=80).

Tagged + Untagged = 630

"5 out of every 9 animals are tagged" -->\(\frac{630}{9}\) *5= 350 animals tagged (both mamals and birds).

630-350 = 280 - animals untagged.

"the ratio of mammals to birds is 6:1" -->\(\frac{350}{7}\) = 50 birds tagged

"Of the birds, only a fifth have been tagged" -> 50*4 = 200 birds untagged -->tot untagged - birds untagged: 280 - 200 = 80 mammals untagged

Total: 630 animals
5 out of every 9 animals tagged out of total 630 animals means 70*5 = 350 total tagged animals
if birds are b then b/5 are tagged
mammals tagged/ birds tagged = 6:1
=> let tagged mammals = 6x, birds tagged = x (since the ratio is out of the total tagged animals)
So 7x = 350 (equate total tagged)
x = 50
tagged mammals = 300
1/5*b = 50 => b = 250
total mammals = 630-250 = 380
untagged mammals = 380 - 300 = 80

Let the number of birds = x
Tagged Birds = x/5

As the ratio of tagged animals to not tagged animals is 5 : 9, the number of tagged animals = 350, and the number of not tagged animals = 280

We can plot the information given in a 2 * 2 matrix as shown below



7x/5 = 350

x = 250

Mammals = 630 - 250 = 380

4x/5 = 200

Not tagged mammals = 280 - 200 = 80

Option B

Total 630
tagged animals: 630 x 5/9 =350
among tagged, mammals: 350 x 6/7 =300 and birds = 350 x 1/7 = 50
1/5 of birds = tagged birds = 50 . hence total birds = 250
hence 200 birds are untagged

untagged animals: 630 x 4/9 =280
so untagged mammals = 280 - 200 = 80
B is correct

The stem tells us that;
  • At a wildlife sanctuary, there are 630 animals
  • 5 out of every 9 animals are tagged
  • Of the birds, only a fifth have been tagged
  • Among the tagged animals, the ratio of mammals to birds is 6:1
  • the sanctuary houses only mammals and birds

And we have to select;
  • how many mammals are untagged

Tagged animals=5/9*630=350

Among them, mammals = 6/7*350=300
and, birds =350-300=50

Tagged birds=total birds/5
So, Total birds= 50*5=250

Total animals= total birds+total mammals
630=250+ total mammals

total mammals=630-250=380
Since tagged mammals=300

Untagged mammals=80

Answer is B

630 animals

5/9 (650) are tagged = 350

Among the tagged animals, mammals outnumber birds 6 to 1
so we get tagged birds = 50

If 1/5 of the total bird population is tagged and we know the tagged birds number
So, birds = 250
mammals = 380

Tagged mammals = total tagged animals - tagged birds
= 350 - 50 = 300
We are asked for untagged animals = 380 - 300 = 80

(B) is the answer

The answer is option B.

Total = 630 5/9 of animals = 5/9(630) = 350 = tagged animals

Among the tagged animals ratio of mammals to birds are in the ratio 6:1 so 6/7*350 = 300 =tagged mammals

similarly 1/7(350) = 50 = tagged birds

1/5 (birds) = tagged birds = 5*50 = total birds = 250

Untagged birds = total - tagged = 250 - 50 = 200

Total mammals = total - birds = 630 - 250 = 380

Untagged mammals = total mammals - tagged mammals = 380 - 300 =80

Total animals= 630
Tagged animals = \(\frac{5}{9}\) *630 = 350
Let total mammals be m
# of total birds = 630-m

Tagged birds =\(\frac{[630-m]}{5}\)
Tagged mammals = 350 - \(\frac{[630-m]}{5}\)

Let, \(\frac{[630-m]}{5}\) be x

Writing equation for ratio of tagged mammals to tagged birds (6:1)

\(\frac{(350-x)}{x}\)= \(\frac{6}{1}\)

Solving for x gives, x = 50

Tagged mammals = 350-x = 300

Solving for x = \(\frac{[630-m]}{5}\) = 50

Total mammals (m)= 380

Untagged mammals = 380 - 300
=80

Total 630 animals

5 out of 9 are tagged, which means 5 : (9-5) = tagged:untagged

Hence tagged = 350 animals, untagged = 280 animals

Among tagged mammals to birds is 6:1
tagged mammals = 6/7 * (350) = 300
tagged birds = 350 - 300 = 50

among total birds 1/5 th are tagged
so 1/5 * (total birds) = 50
total birds = 250

untagged birds = 200
untagged mammals = 280 - 200 = 80 untagged mammals

Hence 80 mammals are untagged

tagged animals ratio, mammals:bird=6:1
(5/9) * 630 = 350 animals are tagged.

Hence tagged mammals= 300 {6/7 * 350}
tagged birds=50 {1/7 * 350}

Given 1/5 of birds are tagged this means Total birds =250
Hence mammals = 630-250 =380

Total: 630
Total tagged = 5/9 * 630 = 350

Total bird = x
Tagged bird = x/5




IMO, B

Total mammals = 630 - x
Tagged mammals = 350 - x/5
Untagged mammals = (630 - x) - (350 -x/5) => need to find this

We have: (350 - x/5) / (x/5) = 6/1
=> 350 - x/5 = 6x/5
=> 7x/5 = 350 => x = 250

=> Untagged mammals = (630-250) - (350 -250/5) = 80 => B

For this particular question, the number of animals are 630 & only has birds & mammals in the group

5 out of 9 animals are tagged, which means (5/9)*630=350 tagged & by default 630-350=280 untagged

Out of the tagged animals, mammals to birds ratio is 6:1 which means 300 tagged mammals & 50 tagged birds

1/5 of the total birds are tagged so the ratio of tagged to untagged birds would be 1:4(Tagged/(Tagged+Untagged)=1:5)

So the number of untagged birds would be 50/Untagged=1/4, Untagged birds=200. Hence the number of untagged mammals would be untagged animals-untagged birds = 280-200=80

Hence the answer to this question is option (B) 80

At a wildlife sanctuary, there are 630 animals, and 5 out of every 9 animals are tagged. Of the birds, only a fifth have been tagged. Among the tagged animals, the ratio of mammals to birds is 6:1. If the sanctuary houses only mammals and birds, how many mammals are untagged?

A. 50
B. 80
C. 120
D. 200
E. 300


350= tagged animals=7x. Thus 300 mammals are tagged and 50 birds are taaged and since tagged birds= 1/5th of total birds hence total birds= 250. Thus untagged mammamls=630-250-300=80

Ans B
