Eight years ago, Ajay's age was 4/3 times that of Vijay. Eight years hence, Ajay's age will be 6/5 times that of Vijay. What is the present age of Ajay ?
Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Let the present ages of Ajay and Vijay be 'A' and 'V' years respectively.
=> A - 8 = 4/3 (V - 8) and A + 8 = 6/5 (V + 8)
=> 3/4(A - 8) = V - 8 and 5/6(A + 8) = V + 8
V = 3/4 (A - 8) + 8 = 5/6 (A + 8) - 8
=> 3/4 A - 6 + 8 = 5/6 A + 20/3 - 8
=> 10 - 20/3 = 10/12 A - 9/12 A
=> 10/3 = A/12 => A = 40.
