Sachin is younger than rahul by 4 years. If their ages are in the respective ratio of 7:9, how old is Sachin?
A.16 years
B.18 years
C.28 years
D.None of these
FeedbackLet Rahul's age be x years. Then, Sachin's age = (x-7) years x-7 / x = 7 / 9 <=> 9x - 63 = 7x <=> 2x = 63 <=> x = 31.5. Hence, Sachin's age = ( x - 7 ) = 24.5 years.
