Question:

Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kunal and Sagar was 6 : 5. Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11 : 10. What is Sagar's age at present?

Options:

16 years

18 years

20 years

Cannot be determined

Correct Answer:

16 years

Explanation:

Let the ages of Kunal and Sagar 6 years ago be 6x and 5x years respectively.
Then, [(6x + 6) + 4]/ [(5x+6)+4] = 11/10
10(6x + 10) = 11(5x + 10)
5x = 10
x = 2.
Sagar's present age = (5x + 6) = 16 years.
