Question

Saransh is 50 years old and Nazma is 40 years old. How long ago was the ratio of their ages 3:2 ?​

Answer 1

we have to calculate: How many years ago the ratio of their ages was 3:2. Let us assume x years ago

At present: Saransh is 50 years and Nazma is 40 years

x years ago: Saransh’s age = (50 – x) and Nazma's age = (40 – x)

Given, the ratio of their ages was 3:2

(50-x) / (40-x) = 3/2

Solving, we get: x = 20

Therefore, the answer is 20 years.
