Question 1
In a family, Sujata : Tarun = 8:4 and Tarun : Milind = 4:1. The sum of their ages is 26. Find Tarun's age.
Let common ratio for Tarun be 4
Then Sujata:Tarun:Milind = 8:4:1
Sum of ratios = 13
Each unit = 26 ÷ 13 = 2
Tarun's age = 4 × 2 = 8
Then Sujata:Tarun:Milind = 8:4:1
Sum of ratios = 13
Each unit = 26 ÷ 13 = 2
Tarun's age = 4 × 2 = 8
