The ratio of present ages of Hema and Chinnu is 13:17. Four years ago the ratio of their ages was 11:15. What will be the ratio of their ages six years hence ?
Correct Answer: Option C
Let ,
their present ages be 13x and 17x.
ACQ ,
13x-4/17x-4 = 11/15.
or, 15(13x-4) = 11(17x-4)
or, 195x - 60 = 187x -44
or , 8x = 16
so , x = 2
after 6 years,
Hema's age will be - 13*2+6= 32
Chinnu's age will be - 17*2 + 6 = 40
so their age's ratio = 32/40 = 4/5
