    Present age of β€˜K’ is 70% more than that of β€˜L’.

    10 years ago, β€˜K’ was 2.2 times as old as β€˜L’. Find the present age of β€˜L’.
    A 18 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 16 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 24 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present age of β€˜L’ be β€˜x’ years
    Therefore, present age of β€˜K’ = 1.7x years
    ATQ;
    (1.7x – 10) = 2.2 Γ— (x – 10)
    Or, 1.7x – 10 = 2.2x – 22
    Or, 12 = 0.5x
    Or, x = 24
    Therefore, present age of β€˜L’ = 24 years
