Question

ratio of ages of Bhavana and Gowtham is 2:3. Bhavana’s present age is 24. If the ages of Bhavana , Gowtham and Chirag are in continued proportion, find Chirag’s age?a.50b.52c.54d.56

Answer 1

Let the ratio of their ages of Bhavana and Gowtham is 2x and 3x.

Given that the age of Bhavana is 24.

= > 2x = 24

= > x = 12.

Age of Gowtham = 3(12) = 36.

Now,

Let the age of Chirag be y years.

= > 24 : 36 = 36 : y

= > (24/36) = (36/y)

= > 24y = 36 * 36

= > 24y = 1296

= > y = 54.

Therefore, the age of chirag is 54 years.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

The Answer would be 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of ages of Bhavna and Gowtham = 2X:3X

Bhavna Present age = 24 age

B:G = 2 : 3    X 2  = 4 : 6

G:C = 2 : 3    X 3  = 6 : 9

B:G:C = 4:6:9

B = 4X = 24

X = 6

C = 9*6 = 54
