Weight of Ayush and Abhishek are in the ratio of 6 : 11. Abhishek’s weight increases by 25% and total weight of Ayush and Abhishek both increases by 40%. If total weight becomes 119 kg, then what is the weight (in kg) of Ayush after the increment?
Let weight of Ayush = $$600x$$ kg and weight of Abhishek = $$1100x$$ kg
=> Total weight = $$600x+1100x=1700x$$ kg
Abhishek's weight after increment = $$1100x+(\frac{25}{100}\times1100x)$$
= $$1100x+275x=1375x$$ kg
Total weight after increment = $$1700x+(\frac{40}{100}\times1700x)$$
= $$1700x+680x=2380x$$ kg
According to ques, => $$2380x=119$$
=> $$x=\frac{119}{2380}=0.05$$
$$\therefore$$ Ayush's weight after increment = $$2380x-1375x=1005x$$
= $$1005\times0.05=50.25$$ kg
