- 32 years
ExplanationLet us assume the present age of the subordinate is P then her subordinate age will be (P + 16).
According to Question,
Four years ago, the respective ratio of the ages of the boss and subordinate was 11 : 7.
(P +16 - 4 )/ (P - 4) = 11/7
? 7 x (P +16 - 4 ) = 11 x (P - 4)
? 7 x (P +12 ) = 11 x (P - 4)
? 7P + 84 = 11P - 44
? 4P = 128
