DIRECTION for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
Of 132 examinees of a certain school, the ratio of successful to unsuccessful candidates is 9:2. If 4 more students had passed, what would have been the ratio of successful to unsuccessful students?
Out of 132 examinees of a certain school, the ratio of successful to unsuccessful candidates is 9:2
Let successful candidates = 9x
Let unsuccessful candidates = 2x
$$\therefore$$ 9x + 2x = 132
$$\therefore$$ 11x = 132 $$\Rightarrow$$ x = 12
$$\Rightarrow$$ Successful candiates = 108
$$\Rightarrow$$ Unsuccessful candidates = 24
Now, 4 more candidates pass
$$\therefore$$ Successful candidtes = 112
$$\therefore$$ Unsuccessful candidates = 20
$$\Rightarrow$$ Ratio = 112 : 20 = 28 :
Hence option B is the correct choice
