      Question

      The ratio of the marks obtained by Priya, Neha, and Riya

      is 4:7:9 respectively. Sheetal scored 5 marks less than Neha. If the difference between Riya’s and Priya’s marks is 40 marks, what is the ratio of Neha’s marks to Sheetal’s marks?
      A 56:51 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 48:43 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12:11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 49:44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let marks be 4x, 7x, and 9x respectively. 
      Sheetal’s marks = 7x - 5

      ATQ, 
      9x - 4x = 40 
      Or, 5x = 40 
      Or, x = 8

      Neha = 7 × 8 = 56 
      Sheetal = 56 - 5 = 51

      Required ratio = 56:51
