Question:

Three years ago, Rahul was three time as old as Sahil. 6 years from now, Rahul will be only twice as old as Sahil. What is present age of Rahul and Sahil ?

Options:

30 year , 12 year

31 year , 13 year

34 year , 16 year 

35 year , 17 year

Correct Answer:

30 year , 12 year

Explanation:

3 years ago ratio of age of Rahul and Sahil = 3 : 1

After 6 years from present = 2 : 1

ATQ,

⇒ \(\frac{3R + 9}{1R + 9}\) = \(\frac{2}{1}\)

⇒ 3R + 9 = 2R + 18

⇒ 1R = 9

⇒ 3 years ago age of Rahul = (3 × 9) = 27 and

    age of Sahil = (1 × 9) = 9

Now,

Rahul's present age => 27 + 3 = 30 years

Sahil's present age => 27 + 3  = 12 years
