The present ages of Vishal and Shekhar are in the ratio of 14 : 17. Six years from now, their ages will be in the ratio of 17 : 20. What is Shekhar's present age?

51 years 34 years 36 years 17 years

34 years

Lets assume Present age of vishal be 14x and age of Shekhar  be 17x Given, \(\frac{14x + 6}{17x + 6}\) = \(\frac{17}{20}\) 280 + 120 = 289x + 102 9x = 18 x = 2 So , Present age of Shekhar = 17 × 2 = 34 years
