      Question

      The ratio of the ages of Sneha, Ritu, and Anjali is

      3:4:5 respectively. Meera is 6 years younger than Ritu. If the difference between Anjali and Sneha’s age is 24 years, what is the ratio of Ritu’s age to Meera’s age?
      A 6:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 7:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 8:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 9:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let their ages be 3x, 4x, and 5x respectively. 
      So, Meera’s age = (4x - 6)
      ATQ, 
      5x - 3x = 24 
      Or, 2x = 24 
      Or, x = 12
      So, Ritu’s age = 4 × 12 = 48 
      And, Meera’s age = 48 - 6 = 42
      Required ratio = 48:42 = 8:7
