Two integers are in the ratio of 1 to 4. If 6 is added to the smaller number, the ratio becomes 1 to 2. Find the larger integer. Pick:
A) 4
B) 6
C) 12
D) 24
E) 30
Assume the integers to be x and y, where x &lt; y   Given x/y = 1/4 - (i) or y = 4x   and x+6 / y = 1/2 - (ii) or y = 2x + 12   Substituting the value of y from (i), 4x = 2x + 12   x = 6   Hence y = 4*6=
