Answer:

75 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

  • I went by the options, see after adding 85 to each number, the ratio becomes 16:21 thus that first number must be divisible by 16 right...
  • Now check, 60+85/16,75+85/16,90+85/16,120+85/16
  • Only one option is divisible by 16, which is your answer
