Question 1
In a family, Navya : Prithvi = 8:4 and Prithvi : Amira = 4:1. The sum of their ages is 39. Find Prithvi's age.
Let common ratio for Prithvi be 4
Then Navya:Prithvi:Amira = 8:4:1
Sum of ratios = 13
Each unit = 39 ÷ 13 = 3
Prithvi's age = 4 × 3 = 12
Then Navya:Prithvi:Amira = 8:4:1
Sum of ratios = 13
Each unit = 39 ÷ 13 = 3
Prithvi's age = 4 × 3 = 12
