Given:
Hemang and Nidhi got married 30 years ago.
Nidhi is 6 years younger than Hemang.
When they got married, 2 times of the Nidhi’s age and 1.6 times of the Hemang's age was equal.
Formula:
If ratio of A and B is = x ∶ y
∴ A / B = x / y
Calculation:
Let, Hemang’s present age = x
∴ Nidhi’s present age = x - 6
According to the question,
⇒ 2 × {(x - 6) - 30} = 1.6 × (x - 30)
⇒ 2x - 72 = 1.6x - 48
⇒ 0.4x = 24
⇒ x = 24 / 0.4
⇒ x = 60
∴ Present age of Nidhi = (60 - 6) = 54 years
