Question

Ratio of ashok's age to pradeep's age is 4 : 3. Ashok will be 26 years old after 6 years. How old is pradeep now ? 18 years 21 years 15 years 24 years

Answer 1

Answer:

15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ashok's current age be x and from the ratio we can get Pradeep's age.

Ashok's age : Pradeep's age = 4 :3

If Ashok is x years old then from the ratio Pradeep is 3/4x years old.

In 6 years Ashok will be 26 years then this can be represented as :

x + 6 = 26 years

x = 26 - 6 = 20 years.

The present age of Ashok = 20 years

Now current age of Pradeep = 3/4x = 3/4 × 20 = 15 years

The current age of Pradeep = 15 years.
