Five years ago, the ratio of the ages of A and B was 3 : 4. Five years from now,the ratio of their ages will be 4 : 5. What is the ratio of A and B, 10 years from now? |
9 : 11 6 : 7 5 : 6 7 : 9 |
9 : 11 |
Ratio of age 5 years ago, A : B 3 : 4 Ratio of age 5 years from now, A : B 4 : 5 ⇒ (4 - 3) units = 10 ⇒ 1 unit = 10 years, ⇒ Present age = 4 x 10 - 5 : 5 x 10 - 5 ⇒ 35 : 45 ⇒ The ratio of A and B, 10 years from now = 35 + 10 : 45 + 10 = 45 : 55 = 9 : 11. |
