Question:

Nalini’s younger brother is 12 years old. If the ratio of the age of Nalini to that of her brother is 7 : 6, then what will be ratio in their ages 6 years hence?

Options:

10 : 9 

13 : 12

17 : 15

10 : 6

Correct Answer:

10 : 9 

Explanation:

Brother = 12 yrs

Nalini : Brother

   7    :   6

⇒ 6 units = 12

⇒ 1 unit = 2

⇒ Nalini's age = 7 x 2 = 14

⇒ Both ages 6 yrs hence = 14 + 6 : 12 + 6

20 : 18 = 10 : 9
