Let the present age of Ravali = x

=> Swarna's present age = x - 9

From the given data,

x + 7 = 2(x - 9 + 7)

=> x = 11 yrs

Required Ravali's age after 4 years = 11 + 4 = 15 yrs.

Since half of the four children are girls, two must be boys. It is not clear which children have blue or brown eyes. So only statement (b) follows.

Here I converted the original fraction to a fraction with the denominator being 10, because decimals can be written in the tenths place.

$$\begin{gathered} Divide numerator and denominator with '2' \\ 15 x 22 \\ = 210 \\ = 0.2 \end{gathered}$$

Here to say which fraction is greater from the given options, the fraction with greater numerator with same denominator or smaller denominator with same numerator.

To find the greater fraction, among the given options, make the denominators same for the options by finding the LCM of all the denominators.

7/12, 9/16, 13/20, 32/80

Now, LCM of 12, 16, 20, 80 = 240.

Then,

140/240, 135/240, 156/240, 96/240

Here 

$$\begin{gathered} 156240 > 140240 > 135240 > 96240 \\ => 1320 > 712 > 916 > 3280 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, largest fraction = 13/20.

The given series is 15, 19, 27, 38, 55, 75

15

15 + 4 = 19

19 + 8 = 27

27 + 12 = 39

39 + 16 = 55

55 + 20 = 75

Hence, the odd number in the given series is 38.
