Question 76

The ratio of present ages of Ajay and Vijay is 2:3. 4 years ago the ratio of their ages was 3:5. What is Vijay's present age (in years)?

Solution

Let age of Ajay be 2x and age of Vijay be 3x 
Now by condition
2x-4/3x-4 =3:5
cross multiplying we get 
10x-20=9x-12
we get x=8
so Vijay's present age = 3(8) =24
