Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Anands present age in years?
24
27
40
None of these
Explanation:
The present ages fo Sameer and Anand are in the ratio = 5 : 4
Let the present age of Sameer be 5x
Let the present age of Anand be 4x
Given : 3 years after, the ratio of ages = 11 : 9
5x +3 = 11 : 4x +3 = 9
x = 11/9
9 (5x +3 ) = 11 (4x +3 )
45x + 27 = 44x + 33
45x – 44x = 33 – 27
X = 6
To find : Anands Present age (4x = ?)
4 (6) = 24 years
The present ages fo Sameer and Anand are in the ratio = 5 : 4
