  1. Solution:

    (i) Ratio of original and reduced weight of woman = 7: 5

    Consider original weight = 7x

    Reduced weight = 5x

    Here original weight = 91 kg

    So the reduced weight = (91 × 5x)/ 7x = 65 kg

    (ii) Amount collected for charity = Rs 2100

    Here the ratio between orphanage and a blind school = 3: 4

    Sum of ratios = 3 + 4 = 7

    We know that

    Orphanage schools share = 2100 × 3/7 = Rs 900

    Blind schools share = 2100 × 4/7 = Rs 1200
