Such was thrice as old as Poonam 6 years back. Such will be 5/3 times as old as Poonam 6 years hence. How old is Poonam today?

A 20

B 14

C 12

D 15

E None of these

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

Let Poonam age 6 years back = x.
Then, Sush age 6 years back = 3x.
(5/3) * (X + 6 + 6) = (3X + 6 + 6)
So 5(x+ 12) = 3(3x+ 12),
so x=6.
Poonam Age = (x+ 6) years = 12 years
