Question: 3

Suhail is younger than Rehan by 7 years. If the ratio of their ages is 7:9, find the age of Suhail
  • 23.5
  • 24.5
  • 12.5
  • 14.5

  Show/Hide Explanation 

Correct Answer: B

If Rehan age is x, then Suhail age is x-7,

so (x-7)/x = 7/9

=> 9x-63 = 7x

=> 2x = 63

=> x = 31.5

So Suhail age is 31.5 - 7 = 24.5
