    You can also go by option method Condition1 :Two numbers are in ratio 3:4= 3÷4= 0.75 So option C) 18 & 24 18÷24=0.75 Condition2 : If 6 is added new ratio be 4:5=4÷5= 0.8 So option C) 18+6 & 24+6 = 24,30 24÷30= 0.8 Since, option c satisfy both conditions Option c is correct answer Hope this helps🙂

    Let the no be x then 3x+6/4x+6 = 4/5 . Cross multiply it. You will get x=6 then put 3×6=18 and 4×6=24
