      and Chirag is 8:6:5 respectively. Dinesh has 6 apples fewer than Alok. If the difference between the apples with Alok and Chirag is 36, then what is the ratio of Bhavesh's apples to Dinesh's apples?
      A 4:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 5:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 3:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the apples be 8x, 6x, and 5x respectively. 
      Dinesh = 8x - 6
      ATQ, 
      8x - 5x = 36 
      Or, 3x = 36 
      Or, x = 12
      Bhavesh = 6 × 12 = 72 
      Dinesh = 96 - 6 = 90
      Required ratio = 72:90 = 4:5
