SSC GD 2024 PYQ — Question 58

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 5 : 1.

Given that

M : N = 9 : 6

Let M = 9x and N = 6x

⇒ M + N = 15x

⇒ M - N = 3x

The required ratio is = $\frac{M + N}{M - N}$ = $\frac{15x}{3x}$

⇒ $\frac{M + N}{M - N}$ = $​​​​\frac{5}{1}$

Hence, the value of (M + N) : (M - N) = 5 :1
