Question : The weight of Mr. Gupta and Mrs. Gupta are in the ratio 7 : 8 and their total weight is 120 kg. After taking a dieting course, Mr. Gupta reduced by 6 kg and the ratio between their weights changed to 5 : 6. So Mrs. Gupta has reduced by:
Option 1: 2 kg
Option 2: 4 kg
Option 3: 3 kg
Option 4: 5 kg
Correct Answer: 4 kg
Solution : Initial ratio = 7 : 8 Initial total weight = 120 kg Initial weight of Mr. Gupta = $\frac{7×120}{7+8}$ = 56 kg Initial weight of Mrs. Gupta = $\frac{8×120}{7+8}$ = 64 kg Reduced weight of Mr. Gupta = 56 – 6 = 50 kg Final ratio = 5 : 6 Reduced weight of Mrs. Gupta = $\frac{6×50}{5}$ = 60 kg $\therefore$ Weight reduced = 64 – 60 = 4 kg Hence, the correct answer is 4 kg.
