    7:9. Two years hence, Meena’s age will be 20% less than Tina’s age. What is Meena’s current age?
    A 12 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 14 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let present ages of Meena and Tina be 7x and 9x years respectively. According to the question, (9x + 2) × 0.8 = 7x + 2 Or, 7.2x + 1.6 = 7x + 2 Or, 0.2x = 0.4 So, x = 2 Present age of Meena = 7 × 2 = 14 years
