    The present ages of Karan and Arjun are in the ratio 6

    : 5, respectively. If 4 years ago from now, the sum of ages of Karan and Arjun was 36 years, then find the age of Karan 6 years hence from now.
    A 30 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 32 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 34 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 36 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present ages of Karan and Arjun be ‘6x’ years and ‘5x’ years, respectively. ATQ: (6x - 4) + (5x - 4) = 36
    11x - 8 = 36
    11x = 44
    x = 4 So, present age of Karan = (6 x 4 = 24) years So, required age of Karan = (24 + 6 = 30) years
