At present, the ratio of the age of Maya and Chhaya is 6 : 5 and fifteen years from now, the ratio will get changed to 9 : 8. Maya’s present age is
-
- 21 years
- 24 years
- 30 years
- 40 years
Correct Option: C
Let Maya’s present age be 6x years and Chhaya’s present age be 5x years.
After 15 years,
| = | ||
| 5x + 15 | 8 |
⇒ 48x + 120 = 45x + 135
⇒ 48x – 45x = 135 – 120
⇒ 3x = 15 ⇒ x = 5
∴ Maya’s present age = 6x
= 6 × 5 = 30 years
