    Present age of β€˜S’ is 50% more than that of β€˜T’.

    6 years ago, β€˜S’ was 2.5 times as old as β€˜T’. Find the present age of β€˜T’.
    A 8 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 9 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present age of β€˜T’ be β€˜x’ years
    Therefore, present age of β€˜S’ = 1.5x years
    ATQ;
    (1.5x – 6) = 2.5 Γ— (x – 6)
    Or, 1.5x – 6 = 2.5x – 15
    Or, 9 = x
    Therefore, present age of β€˜T’ = 9 years
