Ratio of two numbers x and y is 7:9. If x is increased by 20% and y is increased by 33 then the new ratio becomes 1:5. What is the ratio 2y:(x+4) Choose one:
A) 18 : 11  B) 8 : 1  C) 11 : 18  D) 1 : 8  E) 1 : 1

Rationale: let : x = 7 n y = 9 n 8.4 n / ( 9 n + 33 ) = 1 / 5 42 n = 9 n + 33 n = 1 so , x = 7 ; y = 9 2 y / ( x + 4 ) = 18 / 11 answer = a
Answer: A
