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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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
