Problems on Ages question 30
Three years ago, the ages of Vikas and Varun were in the ratio 4 : 3. Six years from now, the ratio will be 7 : 6. What is Varun's present age?
- 15 years
- 9 years
- 18 years
- 12 years
Answer and explanation
Answer: D. 12 years
Explanation: Three years ago let the ages be 4k and 3k. Then 6(4k + 9) = 7(3k + 9) gives 3k = 9, so k = 3: ages then were 12 and 9. Varun is now 9 + 3 = 12 years (Vikas 15).
