The present age of A is 4 times more than the present age of B, whose age is 2/3 times of present age of C. D’s present age is 2 times more than the present age of C. If difference between the present age of A and C is 21 years, then find the ratio of age of A and D, 3 years from now.
The present age of A is 4 times more than the present age of B, whose age is 2/3 times of present age of C. D’s present age is 2 times more than the present age of C. If difference between the present age of A and C is 21 years, then find the ratio of age of A and D, 3 years from now. Correct Answer 11 : 10
Let us consider the present age of A, B, C and D as A years, B years, C years and D years respectively.
given, A = 4B + B
⇒ A = 5B
Also, B = 2C/3
⇒ C = 3B/2
And, D = 2C + C
⇒ D = 3C
Replacing C in terms of B we get,
D = 9B/2
And, A - C = 21
⇒ 5B - 3B/2 = 21
⇒ B = 6 years
⇒ A = 30 years
⇒ C = 9 years and D = 27 years
∴ the ratio of age of A and D, 3 years from now = 30 + 3 : 27 + 3 = 11 : 10
Hence (e) is the correct option.
