Correct Answer: Only II
Solution : Let the ages of the two girls be $3x$ and $4x$ years respectively. According to the question, $\frac{3x+2}{4x+2}=\frac{7}{9}$ ⇒ $27x+18=28x+14$ ⇒ $x=4$ Their ages are 12 years and 16 years respectively. Ratio of their ages after 10 years = (12 + 10) : (16 + 10) = 22 : 26 = 11 : 13 Ratio of their ages after 12 years = (12 + 12) : (16 + 12) = 24 : 28 = 6 : 7 Hence, the correct answer is Only II.
