    ⊙ The number which when subtracted from each of the terms of the ratio 19:31 reducing it to 1:4 is

    (a) 15

    (b) 5

    (c) 1

    (d) none of these

    ⊙ Let the number being subtracted be x

    《Then, (19-x):(31-x) = 1:4》

    —–> 19-x/31-x = 1/4

    —–> 4(19-x) = 31-x

    —–> 76-4x = 31-x

    —–> 76-31=4x-x

    —–> 3x = 45

    —–> x = 45/3

    —–> x = 15

    ☆ Therefore, the number is 15.
