Question
The ages of Jatin, Nitin and Mohasin are 16, 24 and 36 years respectively. What is the ratio of Nitin’s age to Mohasin’s age?
Options
3 : 2
2 : 3
4 : 3
3 : 4
Solution
2 : 3
Explanation:
Age of Nitin = 24 years
Age of Mohasin = 36 years
∴ Ratio of Nitin's age to Mohansin's age
= Age of Nitin : Age of Mohasin
= 24 years : 36 years
= `24/36`
= `[ 24 ÷ 12]/[36 ÷ 12]` ( HCF of 24 and 36 = 12)
= `2/3`
= 2 : 3
Thus, the ratio of Nitin's age to Mohasin's age is 2 : 3.
