Question

The ratio of incomes of Seema and Nadira is $3:4$ and the ratio of incomes of Nadira and Mary is $24:17$ . Find the ratio of Seema and Mary.

Answer 1

Given that,

Ratio of Seema and Nadira is $3:4$

and Ratio of Nadira and Mary is $24:17$

Now, We have to find the ratio of Seema and Mary

Now, To find it we have to make Nadira's part equal in both

$\frac{3}{4}\&\frac{24}{17}$

In $\frac{3}{4}$ we have to multiply its numerator and denominator by $6$

i.e- $\frac{3\times 6}{4\times 6}=\frac{18}{24}$

Now it becomes,

$\frac{18}{24}\&\frac{24}{17}$

Hence, the ratio of Seema and Nadira is $18:17$.
