Question

The total of the ages of Jayant, Prem and
Saransh is 93 years. Ten years ago, the ratio of
their ages was 2 : 3 : 4. What is the present age
of Saransh?
(a) 44 years (b) 36 years
(c) 33 years (d) 38 years

Answer 1

Present Age of Saransh is 38

Answer 2

Let the age = x

Ten years ago :

The age of Jayant = 2x - 10

The age of Prem = 3x - 10

The age of Saransh = 4x - 10

According to question :

(2x - 10) + (3x - 10) + (4x - 10) = 93

2x - 10 + 3x - 10 + 4x - 10 = 93

2x + 3x + 4x = 93 - 30

9x = 63

x = 63 / 9 = 7

x = 7

The age of Saransh ten years ago
= 4x = 4(7) = 28 years

So present age = 28 + 10 = 38 years.

So
