6 years ago, the age of A’s mother was 6 times of A’s age and the age of A’s grandmother was 2 times the age of A’s mother. If the ratio between the present ages of A’s mother and that of A’s grandmother is 7 ∶ 13, then what is the present age of A’s grandmother?
6 years ago, the age of A’s mother was 6 times of A’s age and the age of A’s grandmother was 2 times the age of A’s mother. If the ratio between the present ages of A’s mother and that of A’s grandmother is 7 ∶ 13, then what is the present age of A’s grandmother? Correct Answer 78 years
Let the age of A, 6 years ago be 'x' years
So, the age of A’s mother, 6 years ago = 6x years
And the age of A’s grandmother, 6 years ago = 2 × 6x = 12x
According to the question∶
(6x + 6) / (12x + 6) = 7/13
(x + 1) / (2x + 1) = 7/13
x = 6
Hence, the present age of A’s grandmother = (12 × 6) + 6 = 78 years
