Question 21

The ratio of the present ages of Sunita and Vinita is 4 : 5. Six years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 14 : 17. What will be the ratio of their ages 12 years hence ?

Solution

Let the present ages be 4x,5x

Given that, (4x+6)/(5x+6) = 14/17

Solving this equation,we get x= 9

We need to find (4x+12)/(5x+12)

By substituting x=9,we find that this value is 16/19
