    Currently, the age of 'A' is 37.5% greater than 'B's

    age, with a difference of 15 years between them. In five years, what will be the age ratio of 'A' to 'B'?
    A 8:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 4:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let present age of ‘B’ be ‘8x’ years. So, present age of ‘A’ = 8x × 1.375 = ‘11x’ years ATQ; 11x – 8x = 15 Or, 3x = 15 So, x = 5 5 years hence from now, Age of ‘A’ = 11x + 5 = 55 + 5 = 60 years Age of “b’ = 8x + 5 = 40 + 5 = 45 years Required ratio = 60:45 = 4:3
