Question
The present age of Deepak is 3 time the present age of his son. Five years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 34 :13 respectively. The present age of Deepak is :
Options
A. 58 years
B. 60 years
C. 63 years
D. 68 years

Correct Answer

63 years

Explanation

Let us assume the present age of son be x then present of Deepak be 3x.
Five years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 34 : 13 respectively.
then according to question,
(3x + 5)/(x + 5) = 34/13
? (3x + 5) 13 = 34 (x + 5)
? 39x + 65 = 34x + 170
? 5x = 105
? x = 21
Hence, present age of Deepak = 3x = 3 x 21 = 63
