Question

Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in ratio of 5:4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11:9 respectively. What is Anand’s present age in years?

A. 24 years
B. 27 years
C. 40 years
D. 30 years

Answer 1

(5x + 3)/(4x + 3) = 11/9

11(4x + 3) = 9(5x + 3)

44x + 33 = 45x + 27

x = 6

Anand's present age is 6(4) = 24 years old.
