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?
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)
