Question 1
In a family, Mary : Vijay = 7:4 and Vijay : Hudson = 4:1. The sum of their ages is 48. Find Vijay's age.
Let common ratio for Vijay be 4
Then Mary:Vijay:Hudson = 7:4:1
Sum of ratios = 12
Each unit = 48 ÷ 12 = 4
Vijay's age = 4 × 4 = 16
Then Mary:Vijay:Hudson = 7:4:1
Sum of ratios = 12
Each unit = 48 ÷ 12 = 4
Vijay's age = 4 × 4 = 16
