Ramesh is four times older to Suresh. After three years Ramesh's age will be twice the age of Suresh. What is the current age of Ramesh?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Ramesh Suresh
4 : 1 ← (present time)
2 : 1 ← (after 3 years)
ATQ,
⇒ \(\frac{4x + 3}{x + 3}\) = \(\frac{2}{1}\)
⇒ 4x + 3 = 2x + 6
⇒ 2x = 3
⇒ x = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
⇒ Present age of Ramesh = 4x = 4 × \(\frac{3}{2}\) = 6 years
