Question 76

The ratio of present ages of Simi and Seema is 5 : 4. After 9 years the ratio of their ages will be 8 : 7. What is Simi's present age (in years)?

Solution

Let say, Simi and Seema's present age is 5k and 4k.

So, (5k+9)/(4k+9)=8/7 .

or, 35k+63=32k+72 .

or, 3k=9.

or, k=3 .

Simi's present age=5×3=15.

B is correct choice.
