Question

The ratio of present ages of Mahesh and Ajay is 3 : 2. After 8 years the ratio of their ages will become 11:8. What will be the present age of Mahesh's son if he is half of Ajay's age?​

Answer 1

Correct Answer:

12 years

Full Answer:

Let, Mahesh => 3x years

Ajay => 2x years

After 8 years.

3x+82x+8=118

=> 24x + 64 = 22x + 881

=> 2x = 88 - 64 = 24

=> x = 12

=> Therefore, Ajay's age 2x = 2×12 = 24 years

Therefore, Age of Mahesh's son

= 12×24

= 12 years
