Ram got married 8 years ago. His present age is 6/5 times his age at the time of marriage. Ram's sister was 10 years younger to him at the time of his marriage. What is the present age of Ram's sister?

Correct Answer: 38 years

Explanation:

Let the present age of Ram be x years; then
8 years ago Ram age = x - 8
According to question,
His present age is 6/5 times his age at the time of marriage.
x =( x - 8) 6/5
⇒ 5x = 6x - 48
∴ x = 48
Age of Ram at the time of his marriage = 48 - 8 = 40
According to question,
Ram's sister was 10 years younger to him at the time of his marriage
Hence, Ram's sister age at the time of his marriage = 40 - 10 = 30 years.
So Present age of Ram's Sister = 30 + 8 = 38
