Question:

Sachin is younger than Rahul by 7 years. If their ages are in the respective ratio of 7 : 9, how old is Sachin?

Options:

16 years

18 years

22 years

24.5 years

Correct Answer:

24.5 years

Explanation:

Let Rahul's age be x years.
Then, Sachin's age = (x - 7) years.
(x - 7)/x = 7/9
x - 63 = 7x
2x = 63
x = 31.5
Hence, Sachin's age =(x - 7) = 24.5 years
