    Two numbers are in the ratio of 3 : 4. If 5 is subtracted from each, then the ratio will be 2 : 3 what is the smaller number?

    A) 15                    

    B) 18

    C) 20                                

    D) 24

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the numbers are 3x and 4x. \[\frac{3x-5}{4x-5}=\frac{2}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[9x-15=8x-10\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=5\] \[\therefore \]      The smaller number\[=3\times 5=15\]
