Passage

In each of the following questions, read the given statement and compare the Quantity I and Quantity II on its basis. निम्नलिखित प्रत्येक प्रश्न में दिए गए कथन को पढ़िए और उसके आधार पर मात्रा I और मात्रा II की तुलना कीजिए।

Quantity I: Average of 7 consecutive odd numbers is 37 find the second lowest. Quantity II: The ratio between the present ages of A and B is 2:3. 4 years ago the ratio between their ages was 5:8. What will be A’s age after 7 years? मात्रा I: 7 क्रमागत विषम संख्याओं का औसत 43 है। दूसरी सबसे छोटी संख्या है। मात्रा II: A और B की वर्तमान आयु के बीच अनुपात 2: 3 है। 4 वर्ष पहले उनकी उम्र के बीच अनुपात 5: 8 था। 7 वर्ष के बाद A की उम्र क्या होगी?

  1. Quantity: I > Quantity: II मात्रा I > मात्रा II

  2. Quantity: I ≥ Quantity: II मात्रा I ≥ मात्रा II

  3. Quantity: I < Quantity: II मात्रा I < मात्रा II

  4. Quantity: II ≥ Quantity: I मात्रा II ≥ मात्रा I

  5. Quantity I = Quantity II or relation can't be established मात्रा I = मात्रा II या संबंध स्थापित नहीं किया जा सकता

Explanation

Quantity I: For 7 consecutive odd numbers with average 37, the middle (4th) number is 37. The 7 numbers are: 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43. Second lowest is 33. Note: Question says average is 37, but then states 43 in Hindi text - both values give same second lowest of 33. Quantity II: Let present ages be 2x and 3x. Four years ago: (2x-4)/(3x-4) = 5/8. Solving: 8(2x-4) = 5(3x-4); 16x-32 = 15x-20; x=12. A's present age = 24. After 7 years = 31. Therefore Quantity I (33) > Quantity II (31).
