Ratio of two numbers x and y is 3:5. If x is increased by 20% and y is increased by 8 then the new ratio becomes 2:5. What is the ratio 2y:(x+6)?
A. 2:5
B. 3:5
C. 4:5
D. 5:3
E. 10:3
The OA is D.
Let:
x = 3n
y = 5n
3.6n / (5n+8) = 2/5
18n = 2*(5n+8)
n = 2.
So, x = 6, y = 10
2y:(x+6) = 20/12 = 5:3.
Please, can anyone explain another way to solve this PS question? Thanks in advance!
