Rajitha's present age is three years less than twice her age 12 years ago. Also, the ratio of Raj's present age to Rajitha's present age is 4:9. What will be Raj's age after 5 years ?

A 17 yrs

B 16 yrs

C  19 yrs

D 21 yrs

Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

Let the present age of Raj and Rajitha be 4x and 9x.
Then, according to question,
9x = 2(9x-12)-3 => 9x = 27 => x = 3
Raj's present age = 4x = 12yrs, 
After 5 years Raj's age will be 12 + 5 = 17 yrs.
