Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Quantity A > Quantity B Quantity A: Ratio of Atul and Akhil present age is 5 : 3 and ratio of Atul and Akhil age after 6 years is 7 : 5. Let the present age of Atul and Akhil is 5x and 3x. According to question, (5x + 6)/ (3x + 6) = 7/5 ⇒ 5(5x + 6) = 7(3x + 6) ⇒ 25x + 30 = 21x + 42 ⇒ 4x = 12; x = 3 ∴ present age of Atul is 15 years. Quantity B: 12 years ∴ Quantity A > Quantity B |
