Ten years ago A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3 : 4, what will be the total of their present ages

A 15

B  25

C 35

D 45

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

Let A's age 10 years ago = x years. 
Then, B's age 10 years ago = 2x years.
(x + 10) / (2x+ l0) = 3/4 
=> x = 5.
So, the total of their present ages =(x + 10 + 2x + 10) 
= (3x + 20) = 35 years.
