    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the ages of Kiran and Meena 3 years ago be '3x' and '4x' respectively.

    So, Kiran’s age after 9 years = 3x + 3 + 9 = (3x + 12) years

    And Meena’s age after 9 years = 4x + 3 + 9 = (4x + 12) years

    ATQ,

    (3x + 12)/(4x + 12) = 5/6

    ⇒ 6(3x + 12) = 5(4x + 12)

    ⇒ 18x + 72 = 20x + 60

    ⇒ 12 = 2x

    ⇒ x = 6

    So, present age of Meena = 4 × 6 + 3 = 27 years
