    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Present age of B = 24 - 6 = 18 years
    Present age of A = 1.5 × 18 = 27 years
    Let the required time be T years.
    So, (27 + T) : (18 + T) = 11 : 8
    Or, 8 × (27 + T) = 11 × (18 + T)
    Or, 216 + 8T = 198 + 11T
    Or, 3T = 18
    Or, T = 6
