  • Question

  • Two years ago, the ratio of Ram's and Mohan's age was 3 : 2 and at present 7 : 5. What are their present ages?


  • Options
  • A. 14 years, 10 years
  • B. 15 years, 10 years
  • C. 13 years, 9 years
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • 14 years, 10 years 

    Explanation

    The ratio of Ram's and Mohan's present age is 7 : 5.
    Let us assume the present ages of Ram and Mohan are 7Y and 5Y years.
    2 Years ago the age of Ram and Mohan will be 7Y - 2 and 5Y - 2 years.
    According to question,
    Two years ago, the ratio of Ram's and Mohan's age was 3 : 2, then
    (7Y -2)/(5Y - 2) = 3/2
    ? (7Y -2) x 2 = 3 x (5Y - 2)
    ? 14Y - 4 = 15Y - 6
    ? Y = 2
    Hence, their present ages = 7 x 2 = 14 years and 5 x 2 = 10 year
