At present Anil is 1.5 times Purvi’s age. Eight years hence the respective ratio between Anil and Purvi’s age then will be 25: 18. What is the Purvi’s present age?
Since Anil's age is 1.5 times the Purvi's age,
Purvi's age = x
Anil's age = 1.5x
$$\frac{1.5x+8}{x+8} = \frac{25}{18}$$
(1.5x+8)18 = 25(x+8)
27x+144 = 25x+200
2x = 56
x = 28
