    Question

    The present ages of 'Isha' and 'Riya' are in the ratio

    5:6. Two years from now, Isha’s age will be 20% less than Riya’s age. What is Isha’s current age?
    A 12 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 24 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present ages of Isha and Riya be 5x and 6x years respectively. According to the question, (6x + 2) × 0.8 = 5x + 2 Or, 4.8x + 1.6 = 5x + 2 Or, 0.2x = 0.4 So, x = 2 Present age of Isha = 5 × 2 = 10 years
