Seema and Meena divide a sum of ₹ 25000 in the ratio of 3 : 2 respectively. If ₹ 5000 is added to each of their shares, what would be the new ratio formed?

(a)2 : 3

(b)3 : 4

(c)5 : 4

(d)4 : 3

Answer

Answer (as printed): D

Explanation

Seema's share $=₹\left(25000 \times \frac{3}{5}\right)=₹ 15000$. Meena's share $$=₹\left(25000 \times \frac{2}{5}\right)=₹ 10000 .$$ ∴ Required ratio $=(15000+5000):(10000+5000)$ $$\text { = } 20000: 15000=4: 3 .$$
