Question 177

The ratio between Binov’s and Alisha’s present ages is 5 : 6 respectively. Three years hence the ratio between their ages will he 6 : 7 respectively. What was Alisha’s age eight years ago ‘?

Solution

Let the present age be A and B respectively.

So,

B:A= 5:6 or 5A=6B -(eq1)

3 year hence,

B+3:A+3= 6:7

7B+3=6A (eq2)

Solving eq1 and eq2 we get A=18,

So A's age 8 years ago=10years
