Question

Arjun is twice a old as Shreya. Five years
ago his age was three times Shreya's
age. Find their present ages :
(A) 10 years, 12 years
(B) 5 years, 10 years
(C) 15 years, 30 years
(D) 12 years, 24 years​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let their present age = 1 : 2 (shreya : Arjun)

5 years ago = 1 : 3 (shreya : Arjun)

A/q,

2(1 : 2) = 2 : 4

(1 : 3) = 1 : 3

1 ---------- 5

2----------10

4----------20

so, their present age = 10 years and 20 years (Ans)

options are wrong ..

we can check also , now they are = 10:20 = 1:2

before 5 years they were = 5:15 = 1:3
