The ratio of ages of Anjali and Shalini is 3 : 2 . The ratio of age of Anjali, four years ago to the age of Shalini after one year is 4 : 3 . Find the present age of Shalini ( in years ) ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
ratio of → Anjali : Shalini
3 : 2
Let Present age of Anjali = 3x and Present age of Shalini = 2x
According to question , Ratio of age of Anjali four years ago to the age of Shalini after one year is 4 : 3 .
i.e. ratio of → Anjali : Shalini
4 : 3
i.e. \(\frac{3x\;-\;4}{2x\;+\;1}\) = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
9x - 12 = 8x + 4
x = 16
As, present age of Shalini = 2x
Shalini's age => 2 × 16 = 32
