    11 : 7, respectively. If 9 years ago from now, the sum of ages of Pankaj and Deepak was 54 years, then find the age of Pankaj 5 years hence from now.

    B 49 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 51 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 53 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the present ages of Pankaj and Deepak be ‘11x’ years and ‘7x’ years, respectively. ATQ: (11x - 9) + (7x - 9) = 54
    18x - 18 = 54 18x = 72
    x = 4 So, present age of Pankaj = (11 x 4 = 44) years So, required age of Pankaj = (44 + 5 = 49) years
