      Question

      Six years ago, the age ratio of A to B was 5:6. In nine

      years, their age ratio will become 8:9. Determine the difference between their current ages.
      A 12 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 8 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      6 years ago, Let the age of A = 5x years
      Age of B = 6x years
      According to the question,
      (5x + 15):(6x + 15) = 8:9
      45x + 135 = 48x + 120
      x = 5
      Present age of A = 5 Γ— 5 + 6 = 31 years
      Present age of B = 6 Γ— 5 + 6 = 36 years
      Required difference = 36 – 31 = 5 years
