      Question

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

      respectively. If B's age, 8 years hence from now will be 3 times of A's age, 12 years ago from now, then find the present age of 'A'.
      A 33 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 30 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 32 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 35 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the present ages of 'A' and 'B' be '3x' years and '5x' years, respectively. ATQ; (5x + 8) = 3 x (3x - 12) Or, 5x + 8 = 9x - 36 Or, 4x = 44 x = 11 So, present age of 'A' = 3 x 11 = 33 years
