    be 46 years. Nine years back, Neha was 7 years younger than Ritu. What will Ritu's age be 5 years from now?
    A 34.5 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 32.5 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 29.5 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12.5 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let present ages be:

    Neha = p

    Ritu = q
    (p + 2) + (q + 2) = 46

    ⇒ p + q = 42 ——— (i)

    p - 9 = q - 9 - 7

    ⇒ p = q - 7 ——— (ii)

    (q - 7) + q = 42

    2q = 49

    q = 24.5

    Ritu's age in 5 years = 24.5 + 5 = 29.5 years
