A) 12 and 6
B) 16 and 8
C) 8 and 4
D) 6 and 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 8 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

All the option shows that the ratio for A and B is 2 : 1.

And it becomes 1 : 1 when A give rs.2 to B

Soooooo:-

The number must be same after the rs.2 is given to B

Therefore....

A. 12 -2 : 6 +2 = 10 : 8    = 5 : 4

B. 16 -2 : 8 +2 = 14 : 10   = 7 : 5

C. 8 -2 : 4 +2 = 6 : 6       = 1 : 1

D. 6 -2 : 3 +2 = 4 : 5       = 4 : 5

And the correct answer is C. 8 and 4
