    The ratio of the number of apples with Alok, Bhavesh,

    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
