Question

the ages of John and Lily are in the ratio 3:5.four years later the sum of their ages will be 64 years . what are their present ages?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

A

16 years

Let the ages of Kunal and Sugar 6 years ago be 6x and 5x years respectively.

Then,

(5x+6)+4

(6x+6)+4

=

10

11

⇒10(6x+10)=11(5x+10)

⇒5x=10

⇒x=1

∴ Sagar's present age = (5x + 6) = 16 years.
