Question 56

Ramesh is thrice as old as Suresh. Two years hence, Ramesh will be twice as old as Suresh. Ramesh’s present age (in years) is:

Solution

                            Ramesh            Suresh
Present Age              3x                    x

After 2 years           3x+2                x+2

Given   3x+2 = 2(x+2)

             3x+2 = 2x+4

                    x = 2

Therefore, Ramesh Present Age = 3x

                                                          = 3 x 2

                                                          = 6 years
