The ratio of the present age of two girls is 3 : 4. After two year the ratio will be 7 : 9. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct ? I. Ratio of their ages after 10 year is 6 : 7. II. Ratio of their ages after 12 year is 6 : 7. |
Only II Neither I nor II Both I and II Only I |
Only II |
I : II Present ages 3 : 4 After 2 years, 7 : 9 _______________________ +2 +2 ⇒ $\frac{3R+2}{4R+2} = \frac{7}{9}$ Using cross - multiplication method, ⇒ R = 4 Present ages = 12, 16 Ratio of ages after 10 years = 22 : 26 = 11 : 13 12 years = 24 : 28 = 6 : 7 Therefore, only II statement is correct |
