Ratio between the present ages of A and B is 2 : 3, respectively. After 5 years, the ratio between their ages will be 3 : 4. What is B's age at present? |
20 years 15 years 10 years 25 years |
15 years |
A : B Present ages 2 : 3 After 5 years 2R+5 : 3R+5 = 3 : 4 ⇒ \(\frac{2R+5}{3R+5}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\) ⇒ 8R + 20 = 9R + 15 ⇒ R = 5 Present ages of A, B = 2 x 5, 3 x 5 = 10years, 15years |
