Present age of R and S are in the ratio of 3 : 2 respectively. If the present age of H is 117 years and R’s present age is $$\frac{4}{13}$$ of H’s present age, then after how many years the ages of R and S would be in the ratio of 15 : 11?
Present age of H = $$117$$ years
=> R’s present age = $$\frac{4}{13}\times117=36$$ years
Thus, S's present age = $$\frac{2}{3}\times36=24$$ years
Let after $$x$$ years, the ages of R and S would be in the ratio = $$15:11$$
=> $$\frac{36+x}{24+x}=\frac{15}{11}$$
=> $$396+11x=360+15x$$
=> $$15x-11x=396-360$$
=> $$x=\frac{36}{4}=9$$
$$\therefore$$ After 9 years, the ages of R and S would be in the ratio of 15 : 11
=> Ans - (A)
