Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Anand's present age in years?

Correct Answer: 24

Explanation:

Let the present ages of Sameer and Anand be 5x years and 4x years respectively.

Then,	5x + 3	=	11
	4x + 3		9

⟹ 9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3)

⟹ 45x + 27 = 44x + 33

⟹ 45x - 44x = 33 - 27

⟹ x = 6.

∴ Anand's present age = 4x = 24 years.
