Doubt in today's Quant challenge question #2

Asked by vedant on 2026-07-09 in CAT Prep

In the 2nd question of today's challenge. I understood how we got the 7:5 ratio. But if we actually calculate the final acreage using that answer,
New Cotton: 360*1.2 = 432 acres
New Jute: 240*1.5 =360 acres
This gives a total area of 792 acres. How can a 600 acre plot have 792 acres of crops?
