    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 ‘A’ = 96 × (2/8) = 24

    Out of 96 pencils, number of pencils received by ‘B’ = 96 – 24 = 72

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