Tanya's grandfather was 8 times older to her 16 years ago. He would be 3 times of her age 8 years from now. What was ratio of ages of Tanya and her grandfather 8 years ago.
Let Current ages of Tanya & her grandfather be X, Y respectively.
Given :
16 yrs ago : (Y-16) = 8(X-16)
8 yrs later : (Y+8) = 3(X+8)
By solving above both equations we arrive at X = $$\dfrac{\ 128}{5}$$ , Y = $$\ \dfrac{\ 464}{5}$$
Therefore 8 yrs ago the ratio will be $$\dfrac{\ X-8}{Y-8}$$ = $$\dfrac{\ 88}{424}$$ = $$\dfrac{\ 11}{53}$$
