      Question

      Present ages of 'A' and 'B' are in the ratio 3:5,

      respectively. If B's age, 10 years hence from now will be five times of A's age, 4 years ago from now, then find the present age of 'A'.
      A 9 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 10 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 18 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 14 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the present ages of 'A' and 'B' be '3x' years and '5x' years, respectively. ATQ; (5x + 10) = 5 x (3x - 4) Or, 5x + 10 = 15x - 20 Or, 10x = 30 Or, x = 3 So, present age of 'A' = 3 x 3 = 9 years
