Question 26

The ratio between the present ages of Manthan and his mother is 3 : 7 respectively and that between Manthan and his father is 5 : 14 respectively. What is the respective ratio between the present ages of Manthan’s mother and his father ?

Solution

Age of Manthan : Age of mother = 3 : 7 -----------Eqn(1)

Age of Manthan : Age of father = 5 : 14 ------------Eqn(2)

Now, Eqn(1) * 5 : Eqn(2) * 3

=> Age of Manthan : Age of mother : Age of father

= 15 : 35 : 42

$$\therefore$$ Ratio of age of Manthan's mother and Manthan's father

= 35 : 42 = 5 : 6
