Answer 1

27..............................

Answer 2

Answer:

The age of Sumit after 3 years will be 27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Sumit be 'x' years

and the present age of Sunil be 'y' years.

Given the ratio of their present ages is 3 : 4

=> x : y = 3 : 4

We know that product of means = product of extremes

here, y and 3 are mean and x and 4 are extremes

=> 3y = 4x                                                                                 --(i)

It is now given that the age of Sunil is 32 years.

which means  y = 32

Substituting the value of y in equation (i), we get,

3 * 32 = 4x

=> x = 24

Therefore, the present age of Sumit is 24 years.

But we need to find the age of Sumit after 3 years

=> 24 years + 3 years = 27 years.

Therefore, the age of Sumit after 3 years will be 27 years
