There are two numbers and their ratio is 3 : 9. If we substract 9 from both numbers then their ratio becomes 12 : 13, what is value is smaller number ?

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x, 2x and 5x.
Then,
9x + 4x + 25x =1862
⇒ 38x = 1862
⇒ x = 49 ⇒ x = 7.
middle number = 2x = 14

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Treat 2:9 as 2/9 and x:18 as x/18, treat :: as =

So we get 2/9 = x/18
=> 9x = 36
=> x = 4

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

let x = 1k and y = 3k, so
\begin{aligned}
= \frac{7(k)+3(3k)}{2(k)+1(3k)} \\
= \frac{16k}{5k} \\
= 16:5
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

From question, lets assume that two numbers are 3x and 5x.

\begin{aligned}
\text{then, }\frac{3x - 9}{ 5x - 9} = \frac{12}{23}\\
=> \text{23(3x - 9) = 12(5x - 9)}\\
=> 9x = 99 \\
=> x = 11
\end{aligned}
So numbers are 3(11) = 33, 5(11) = 55.
Smaller number is 33.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the boy are 8x and Girls are 5x

=> 5x = 200
=> x = 40

Total students = 8x+5x = 13x = 13(40) = 520
