      Question

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

      respectively. If B's age, 11 years hence from now will be 5 times of A's age, 18 years ago from now, then find the present age of 'A'.
      A 30.3 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 31.3 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 32.3 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 34.3 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 + 11) = 5 x (3x - 18) Or, 5x + 11 = 15x - 90 Or, 10x = 101 x = 10.1 So, present age of 'A' = 3 x 10.1 = 30.3 years
