Jatin, Janoo, Jagan and Joshi have their ages in the ratio 1: 2: 4: 6. If the difference between Jatin's age and Janoo's age is 12, what is Joshi's age?
Solution
Jatin, Janoo, Jagan and Jos
hi have their ages in the ratio 1: 2: 4: 6
The difference between jatin’s age and Janoo’s age is 1 year. Joshi’s age is 6 years.
But is given that the difference between Jatin’s age and Janoos age is 12.
We have to multiply everything by 12.
Hence Joshi’s age is 6$\times 12=72~years$
