Consider the Question and two Statements given below: Question : What is the age of Manisha? Statement-1: Manisha is 24 years younger than her mother. Statement-2 : 5 years later, the ages of Manisha and her mother will be in the ratio 3 : 5. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the Question and the Statements? Correct Answer Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are sufficient to answer the Question
Calculation:Statement-1: Manisha is 24 years younger than her mother.
Statement-2 : 5 years later, the ages of Manisha and her mother will be in the ratio 3 : 5.
Let the age of mother be m and manisha be n
m = n + 24
(m + 5)/(n + 5) = 5/3
(n + 24 + 5)/(n + 5) = 5/3
(n + 29) × 3 = (n + 5) × 5
3 n + 87 = 5 n + 25
2 n = 62
n = 31
So, both the statements 1 and 2 are required to answer the question.
Hence, option 3 is correct.
