Question 10

The ratio of the present ages of Aman and Ankit is 2 : 1 and the sum of their present ages is 72 years. What will be the Aman's age (in years) after 6 years?

Solution

Let present ages of Aman and Ankit be $$2x$$ years and $$x$$ years respectively.

=> Sum of ages = $$2x+x=3x=72$$

=> $$x=\frac{72}{3}=24$$

Thus, Aman's age after 6 years = $$2(24)+6$$

= $$48+6=54$$ years

=> Ans - (D)
