Question:

Ratio of present age of A and B is 4 : 3. After 6 years the ratio of age of B and C will be 3 : 2. If the present age of C is 32 years, then after 3 years age of A will be:

Options:

76

79

68

71

Correct Answer:

71

Explanation:

Present age of C = 32

After 6 years C's age = 38

ATQ, after 6 years ratio⇒ B : C = 3 : 2

⇒ 2R = 38

⇒ 1R = 19

⇒ B's age after 6 years = 3R = 57

⇒ Present age of B = 57 - 6 = 51

Now,

Present age of A and B ⇒ 4R and 3R

⇒ 3R = 51

⇒ 1R = 17

⇒ A's present age = 4R = 68

⇒ After 3 years age of A = 68 + 3 = 71 years
