CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. The difference of the ratio terms is 11−3=811 - 3 = 8 parts.

  2. 8 parts = 24 years, so 1 part = 3 years.

  3. Asha = 3×3=93 \times 3 = 9 years (her mother is 33).

Worth noting

33 years is the mother's age. 3 years is the value of ONE part, not Asha's three parts.
