      Question

      Two friends, A and B, divided 96 pencils between them in

      the ratio of 2:6 respectively. Later, A bought 12 more pencils and B purchased 6 more. What is the new ratio of pencils with A and B?
      A 11:12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 5:16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6:13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10:11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Out of 96 pencils, number of pencils received by β€˜A’ = 96 Γ— (2/8) = 24

      Out of 96 pencils, number of pencils received by β€˜B’ = 96 – 24 = 72

      Required ratio = (24 + 12):(72 + 6) = 36:78 = 6:13
