Weight of Ayush and Abhishek are in the ratio of 8 : 5. Abhishek's weight increases by 40 percent and total weight of Ayush and Abhishek both increases by 60 percent. If total weight becomes 104 kg, then what is the weight of Ayush after the increment ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Ayush : Abhishek : Ayush + Abhishek
Original 8 : 5 : 13
New 5x\(\frac{140}{100}\) : 13x\(\frac{160}{100}\)
35 : 104
Total weight of Ayush and Abhishek = 104 kg(given)
Thus, R = 1
Thus, increased weight of Abhishek = 35
Increased weight of Ayush = 104 - 35 = 69 kg
