Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

(a)John's age is $1\frac{1}{2}$ times ravi's age.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The ratio of ages of ravi and john is 2:3 and we are required to find the appropriate statement about relation between their ages.

Let the ages of john and ravi be 2x and 3x respectively.

Therefore we can write,

$\frac{age_{john}}{age_{ravi}}=\frac{3}{2} \\= > age_{john}=\frac{3}{2}age_{ravi}\\= > age_{john}=1\frac{1}{2}age_{ravi}$

Therefore the correct statement is

John's age is $1\frac{1}{2}$ times ravi's age.
