Question 10

The ratio of present ages of Anil and Aakash is 4 : 5. Three years later their ages will be in ratio 7 : 8. What is the present age (in years) of Anil?

Solution

Let present ages of Anil and Aakash be $$4x$$ and $$5x$$ years respectively.

According to ques, 3 years later

=> $$\frac{4x+3}{5x+3}=\frac{7}{8}$$

=> $$32x+24=35x+21$$

=> $$35x-32x=24-21$$

=> $$3x=3$$

=> $$x=1$$

$$\therefore$$ Present age of Anil = $$4\times1=4$$ years

=> Ans - (C)
