Question 1
In a family, Ian : Manjari = 8:3 and Manjari : Shikha = 3:1. The sum of their ages is 36. Find Manjari's age.
Let common ratio for Manjari be 3
Then Ian:Manjari:Shikha = 8:3:1
Sum of ratios = 12
Each unit = 36 ÷ 12 = 3
Manjari's age = 3 × 3 = 9
Then Ian:Manjari:Shikha = 8:3:1
Sum of ratios = 12
Each unit = 36 ÷ 12 = 3
Manjari's age = 3 × 3 = 9
