Question
The ratio of the current ages of Asha and Nisha is 5:4. If
Asha’s age three years ago was equal to Nisha’s age four years from now, then what is Asha’s current age?Solution
ATQ,
Let the present ages of Asha and Nisha be ‘5x’ and ‘4x’ years respectively.
According to the question,
5x – 3 = 4x + 4
x = 7
So, the present age of Asha = 5x = 35 years
