The ratio of two quantities is 5 to 6. If each of the quantities is increased by 3, what is the ratio of these two new quantities?
Choose one:
A) 2/15 B) 7/5 C) 9/5 D) It cannot be determined from the information given. E) 12/17
let the actual ratio be 5k/6k, increase numerator and denominator by 4=&gt; 5k+3/6k+3   Until the value of k is unknown we can not determine the actual ratio.   OR   let the actual be 3/4. After increasing 3 =&gt; 6/7   let the actual be 6/8. After increasing 3 =&gt; 9/11   Therefore without actual quantities we cannot determine the actual ratio.   Answer : It cannot be determined from the information given.
