The ratio of two quantities is 5 to 9. If each of the quantities is increased by 7, what is the ratio of these two new quantities?	Answers
A) 14/15 B) It cannot be determined from the information given. C) 15/19 D) 21/22 E) 11/12
let the actual ratio be 5k/9k, increase numerator and denominator by 7=&gt; 5k+7/9k+7   Until the value of k is unknown we can not determine the actual ratio.   OR   let the actual be 3/4. After increasing 7 =&gt; 10/11   let the actual be 6/8. After increasing 7 =&gt; 13/15   Therefore without actual quantities we cannot determine the actual ratio.   Answer : It cannot be determined from the information given.
