    Solution

    ATQ,

    Ratio of the goals scored by Rohit, Manish and Suresh = 6:9:4

    Let the number of goals scored by Rohit, Manish and Suresh be 6x, 9x and 4x respectively.

    Goals scored by Arjun = 4x + 12

    According to question,

    6x – 4x = 24

    2x = 24

    x = 12

    So, goals scored by Rohit = 6x = 72

    Goals scored by Arjun = 4x + 12 = 48 + 12 = 60

    Required ratio = 72/60 = 6:5
