Question

Present age of Suresh is twice his daughter's age. After 6 years since now, ratio of the age of
Suresh and his daughter's age will be 23:13. What is present age of Suresh?
(1) 40 years (2) 36 years (3) 46 years (4) 50 years (5) None of these​

Answer 1

let present age of suresh be 2x and her daughter 's be x

AFTER 6 YEARS

Suresh age=2x+6

daughter's age =x+6

ATQ

(2x+6)/(x+6)=23/13

13 (2x+6)=23 (x+6)

26x+78=23x+138

26x-23x=138-78

3x=60

x=20

therefore ,suresh age =2x i.e 2×20=40years
