The ratio of the ages of two persons is 3 : 4. If the age of one of them is greater than the other by 8 years, then what is the sum of their ages?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
ATQ,
Let ratio of age be x
Age of 1st person = 3x
Age of 2nd person = 4x
Given, 4x = 3x + 8
x = 8
Sum of their ages = 24 + 32 = 56 years
