Question

Present ages of 'M' and 'N' are in ratio 2:3,

Q: Answer-Present ages of 'M' and 'N' are in ratio 2:3, respectively. If six years hence from now, age of 'M'...

ATQ, Let the present ages of M and N be 2x years and 3x years, respectively. So, 2x 6 3x 6 X 0.7 Or, 2x 6 2.1x 4.2 Or, 0.1x 1.8 So, x 18 So, present age of M 2x 2 X 18 36 years And present age of O 36 5 41 years So, required ratio 3641

respectively. If six years hence from now, age of 'M' will be 30% less than that of 'N', then find the ratio of present ages of 'M' and 'O' given that 'O' is 5 years older than 'M'.

A 25:32

B 24:27

C 36:41

D 18:19
