Question:

The present ages of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 5. If A's present age is 33 years, then what will be B's age (in years) after 5 years?

Options:

65

60

50

55

Correct Answer:

60

Explanation:

ATQ,

Ratio of present ages of A and B = 3 : 5

Present age of A ⇒ 3x = 33 ⇒ x = 11

So, present age of B = 5x = 5 × 11 = 55

B's age after 5 years = 55+5 = 60
