Question

Given : Arun's weight = 30 kg , Vinay is 15 kg more than Arun. Find the ratio of Vinay's weight to their total weight

• A. 11 : 17
• B. 17 : 11
• C. 6 : 17
• D. 17 : 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A

11 : 17

Arun's weight = 30 kg

Vinay's weight = 30 + 15 = 55 kg

Hence Total weight of Arun and Vinay = 30 + 55 = 85

Hence ratio of Vinay's weight to their total weight = $\frac{WeightofVinay}{TotalweightofArunandVinay}$

= $\frac{55}{85}$

= $\frac{11}{17}$

Hence the ratio of Vinay's weight to their total weight = 11 : 17
