Correct Answer: ans: The portion of the total house that is made of brick is $\frac{15}{16}$
Explanation:
Private home : Apartment = 5 : 3
Suppose the private home = 5x
The apartment house = 3x
Total houses = 5x + 3x = 8x
S0, wooden house = 5x$\times \frac{1}{10}=\frac{X}{2}$
Brick structure and private house = 5x-$\frac{X}{2}$=$\frac{9X}{2}$
So, the total brick structured = 3x+$\frac{9X}{2}$=$\frac{15X}{2}$
Bnck structure : Total=$\frac{15X}{2}$:8X=15X:16X
$\frac{Brick structure}{Total}$=$\frac{15X}{16X}$=$\frac{15}{16}$
