A and B currently have an age ratio of 7 : 3. After 7 years this age ratio will become 2 : 1. After how many years from now will the age ratio between the ages of A and B become 3 : 2 ? |
49 years 42 years 35 years 28 years |
35 years |
ATQ, Lets assume present age of A and B is 7x and 3x respectively. Given, after seven years ratio between their ages will be, \(\frac{7x + 7}{3x + 7}\) = \(\frac{2}{1}\) ⇒ 7x + 7 = 6x + 14 x = 7 So, present age of A = 49 Present age of B = 21 Lets assume after y years ratio between their ages will be 3:2 ⇒ \(\frac{49 + y}{21 + y}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\) ⇒ 98 + 2y = 63 + 3y y = 35 So after 35 years ratio between the ages of A and B will be 3:2 |
