Question
T’s age is 3 times the age of
D. 5 years ago, the ratio of T and D is 4:1. Find the age of P who is 2/3 of T’s age.
Solution
Let D’s age be x years. Then, T’s age = 3x years According to question, => (3x – 5)/(x - 5) = 4/1 => 3x - 5 = 4x – 20 => x = 15 T’s age = 3x = 45 years P’s age = 2/3 × 45 = 30 years
