Question
16 years ago from now, ratio of ages of ‘R’ and
‘L’ was 3:5, respectively. If ‘L’ is 9 years elder to ‘R’, then what will be the age of ‘L’, 5 years hence from now?Solution
16 years ago from now, let ages of ‘R’ and ‘L’ be ‘3x’ years and ‘5x’ years, respectively. So, 5x – 3x = 16 Or, 2x = 16 Or, x = 8 Present age of ‘L’ = 5x + 9 = 5 × 8 + 9 = 49 years Age of ‘L’, five years hence from now = 49 + 5 = 54 years
