Rajitha's present age is three years less than twice her age 12 years ago. Also, the ratio of Raj's present age to Rajitha's present age is 4:9. What will be Raj's age after 5 years ?

17 yrs
16 yrs
19 yrs
21 yrs

Correct Answer: 17 yrs

Explanation:

Let the present age of Raj and Rajitha be 4x and 9x.
Then, according to question,
9x = 2(9x-12)-3 => 9x = 27 => x = 3
Raj's present age = 4x = 12yrs,
After 5 years Raj's age will be 12 + 5 = 17 yrs.
