      The current age ratio of

      'Ganesh', 'Hitesh', and 'Indira' is 5:7:6. In 8 years, the ratio of the ages of 'Ganesh' and 'Hitesh' will be 4:5. Determine the present age of 'Indira'.
      A 22 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 16 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 8 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 32 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, (5x+8)/(7x+8)=4/5 Cross-multiplying gives: 5(5x+8)=4(7x+8) Or, 25x+40=28x+32 Therefore, 3x=8 So, x = 8/3 Present age of 'Indira' = {6 Γ— (8/3)} = 16 years
