Question

- Present ages of Lalitha and Sarita are in the ratio 5:4. Three years hence,
ages will become 11 : 9. What is Sarita's present age?
​

Answer 1

Present age ratio is 5:4 which means Lalitha is 1.25 times older than Sarita.

3 years hence, ratio Should be 11.25:9 and not 11:9

Also, to find one’s age, other’s age must be mentioned, as input is only their age ratio.

Answer 2

Answer:

let the age be x therefore lalitha is =5x

sarita =4x

therefore...after 3 yrs = 5x+3/4x+3=11/9

therfore 45x+27=44x+33

x=6

5{6}=30 yrs laliths age

4{6}=24yrs= saritas age
