twice the present age of 'Binny'. Fourteen years from now, if the ratio of their ages is 25:13, find the current age of 'Ankush'.Solution
ATQ, Let the present age of ‘Binny’ be ‘a’ years Therefore, age of ‘A’ at the time of birth of ‘Binny’ = 2a years Present age of ‘Ankush’ = 2a + a = 3a years According to the question, {(3a + 14)/(a + 14)} = 25/13 39a + 182 = 25a + 350 Or, 14a = 168 Or, a = 12 Therefore, present age of ‘Ankush’ = 3a = 36 years
