Question
The current age ratio of Riya to Simran is 5:2. In eight
years, Riya’s age will be twice Simran’s age at that time. What is Riya’s present age?Solution
ATQ;
Let the present age of ‘Simran’ = ‘x’ years
Present age of ‘Riya’ = ‘5x’ years
ATQ;
5x + 8 = 2 × (x + 8)
Or, 5x + 8 = 2x + 16
Or, 3x = 8
Or, x = 8
So, present age of ‘Riya’ = 5 × x = 5 × 8 = 40 years
