Question 32

Present ages of Sai and Satheesh are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Satheesh's present age in years?

Solution

Let the prsent ages of Sai and Satheesh are 5x and 4x

According to the question,$$\frac{5x+3}{4x+3}=\frac{11}{9}$$

$$45x+27=44x+33$$

$$x=6$$

Satheesh's present age = 24 years.
