The ratio of the age of A and B is 10 : 13. The ratio of the age of A, ten years ago to the age of B after ten year is 08 : 15. Find the ratio of the age of A, ten years hence to the age of B ten year ago. |
12 : 11 12 : 15 08 : 11 06 : 08 |
12 : 11 |
A : B 10 : 13 ↓-10 ↓+10 8 : 15 \(\frac{A}{B}\) =\(\frac{10}{13}\) let age of A = 10x and age of B = 13x Now , according to question \(\frac{10x-10}{13x+10}\) = \(\frac{8}{15}\) 150x - 150 = 104x + 80 46x = 230 x = 5 so, A's age 10 hence = 10x5 + 10 = 60 B's age 10 years ago = 13x5 - 10 = 55 Ratio = 60 : 55 = 12 : 11 |
