- Question
- The ratio of the present ages of Suresh and his daughter is 2 : 1. Six years hence, the ratio of their ages would be 23 : 13. Find the present age of Suresh?
Options- A. 35 years
- B. 40 years
- C. 45 years
- D. 50 years
- Correct Answer
- 40 years
ExplanationLet the present ages of Suresh and his daughter be 2x and x years respectively; then
According to question,
Six years hence, the ratio of their ages would be 23 : 13
(2x + 6) / (x + 6) = 23/13
? (2x + 6) 13 = 23 (x + 6)
? 26x + 78 = 23x + 138
? 3x = 60
? x = 20
Hence, present age of Suresh = 2 x 10 = 40 years - 1. Choose the word which is different from the rest.
