Q.

Sachin is younger than Rahul by 7 years. If their ages are in the respective ratio of 7 : 9, how old is Sachin?

View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

Let Rahul's age be x years.

Then, Sachin's age = (x - 7) years.

x - 7 = 7
x 9

⇒ 9x - 63 = 7x

⇒ 2x = 63

x = 31.5

Hence, Sachin's age =(x - 7) = 24.5 years.
