The ratio of the age of Ram and Rahim 10 years ago was 1 : 3. The ratio of their age five years hence will be 2 : 3. Then the ratio of their present age is
-
- 1 : 2
- 3 : 5
- 3 : 4
- 2 : 5
Correct Option: B
Let the age of Ram and Rahim 10 years ago be x and 3x years respectively.
After 5 years from now,
= | ||
3x + 15 | 3 |
⇒ 6x + 30 = 3x + 45
⇒ 3x = 45 – 30 = 15
∴ Ratio of their present age
= (x + 10) : (3x + 10)
= 15 : 25 = 3 : 5
