Bhaumik and Kandarp are two brothers. Bhaumik is 5 years older than Mahima and ratio of the age of Kandarp to Mahima is 3 : 5.

Quantity I: What is age of Bhaumik if Kandarp’s age will be 25 in 7 years?

Quantity II: Age of Mahima. 

1. Quantity I > Quantity II
2. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II
3. Quantity I < Quantity II
4. Quantity I ≤ Quantity II
5. Quantity I = Quantity II

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Quantity I > Quantity II

Given:

Kandarp : Mahima = 3 : 5

Kandarp’s age after 7 years = 25 years

Bhaumik = 5 + Mahima’s age

Calculation:

Kandarp’s current age = 25 – 7

⇒ Kandarp’s current age = 18 years

⇒ Kandarp : Mahima = 3 : 5

⇒ Mahima’s age = 5 × 18/3

⇒ Mahima’s age = 30 years

Bhaumik’s age = 5 + 30

⇒ Bhaumik’s age = 35 years

Quantity I: 35 years

Quantity II: 30 years

∴ Quantity I > Quantity II
