Question:

Ten years ago, Ajay's age was 1/3rd of Vijay's age. If Ajay is 18 years old now, how old is Vijay now?

 

Options:

32 yr

34 Yr

36 Yr

38 Yr

Correct Answer:

34 Yr

Explanation:

Let the age of Aman be x and Vijay be y

So, according to the question, 10 years ago - x = \(\frac{ 1}{3 }\) x y

Present age of Ajay = 18 years, so, 10 years ago is was 8 years

So, we can say that, 8 = \(\frac{ 1}{3 }\) x y

y i.e. Vijay's age = 24 ( 10 years ago)

So, present age of Vijay = 34 years
