  • Question
  • Eight years ago, Ajay's age was 4/3 times that of Vijay. Eight years hence, Ajay's age will be 6/5 times that of Vijay. What is the present age of Ajay ?


  • Options
  • A. 41 yrs
  • B. 40 yrs
  • C. 37 yrs
  • D. 33 yrs

  • Correct Answer
  • 40 yrs 

    Explanation

    Let the present ages of Ajay and Vijay be 'A' and 'V' years respectively.

    => A - 8 = 4/3 (V - 8) and A + 8 = 6/5 (V + 8)

    => 3/4(A - 8) = V - 8 and 5/6(A + 8) = V + 8

    V = 3/4 (A - 8) + 8 = 5/6 (A + 8) - 8

    => 3/4 A - 6 + 8 = 5/6 A + 20/3 - 8

    => 10 - 20/3 = 10/12 A - 9/12 A

    => 10/3 = A/12 => A = 40.
