The ratio of the ages of Mini and Minakshi is 4 : 3.
The ratio of the ages of Mini and Minakshi is 4 : 3. The sum of their ages is 14 years. The ratio of their ages after 8 years will be
Answer/Solution
8 : 7
Steps/Work
Let Mini’s age = 4x and Minakshi’s age = 3x
Then 4x + 3x = 14
x = 2
Mini’s age = 8 years
And Minakshi’s age = 6 years
Ratio of their ages after 8 years = (8 + 8) : (6 + 8) = 16 : 14 = 8 : 7
ANSWER:C
Then 4x + 3x = 14
x = 2
Mini’s age = 8 years
And Minakshi’s age = 6 years
Ratio of their ages after 8 years = (8 + 8) : (6 + 8) = 16 : 14 = 8 : 7
ANSWER:C
