The ratio of the age of A and B is 3 : 2. The ratio of the age of A, four years ago to the age of B after one year is 4 : 3. Find the present age of B. |
48 years 32 years 24 years 35 years |
32 years |
A : B 3 : 2 ↓-4 ↓+1 4 : 3 \(\frac{A}{B}\) =\(\frac{3}{2}\) let age of A = 3x and age of B = 2x Now , according to question \(\frac{3x-4}{2x+1}\) = \(\frac{4}{3}\) 9x - 12 = 8x + 4 x = 16 B's present age = 2x16 = 32 years |
