  • Options
  • A. 3
  • B. 4
  • C. 7
  • D. 6

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    The present ages of two persons are 36 and 50 years respectively
    After n years the age of both persons will be 36 + n and 50 + n respectively.
    According to question,
    After n years the ratio of their ages will be 3:4,
    (36 + n)/(50 + n) = 3/4
    ? (36 +n) x 4 = 3 x (50 + n)
    ? 36 x 4 + 4 x n = 50 x 3 + 3 x n
    ? 144 + 4n = 150 + 3n
    ? 4n - 3n =150 -144
    ? n = 6
