The ratio in the present ages of Ramesh and Jayesh is 3 : 2. four years ago Ramesh's age was more then Jayesh's age by 6 years. What is the present age of Jayesh ?
-
- 18 years
- 12 years
- 6 years
- Data is inadequate
Correct Option: B
Let the present age of Ramesh be 3x years and the present age of jayesh = 2x years.
According to question, (3x - 4) = (2x - 4) + 6
⇒ 3x - 4 = 2x - 4 + 6
⇒ 3x - 4 = 2x + 2
⇒ 3x - 2x = 2 + 4
∴ x = 6
∴ Present age of Jayesh = 2x = 12 years
