Three numbers A, B and C are in the ratio 6 : 5 : 4. If we add 15 in each number then the ratio becomes 15 : 13 : 11. Find number A.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
A : B : C
6 : 5 : 4 ⇒ ×4 (to make diff equal b/w two ratios)
15 : 13 : 11 ⇒ ×2
We get,
A : B : C
24 : 20 : 16
↓ +6 ↓ +6 ↓+6
30 : 26 : 22
ATQ,
6R = 15,
1R = \(\frac{15}{6}\)
Hence,
⇒ A = 24R = 24 × \(\frac{15}{6}\) = 60
