    Question

    The present ages of Neeraj and Saurabh are in the ratio

    5 : 3, respectively. If 5 years ago from now, the sum of ages of Neeraj and Saurabh was 22 years, then find the age of Neeraj 15 years hence from now.
    A 35 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 38 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 40 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present ages of Neeraj and Saurabh be ‘5x’ years and ‘3x’ years, respectively. ATQ: (5x - 5) + (3x - 5) = 22
    8x - 10 = 22
    8x = 32
    x = 4 So, present age of Neeraj = (5 x 4 = 20) years So, required age of Neeraj = (20 + 15 = 35) years
