Pavan is 12 years older than Raghav and the respective ratio of Raghav's age 8 years hence and Shreya's present age is 17 : 7. If at present Pavan's age is thrice the age of Shreya. What will be Pavan's age 3 years hence?
Pavan is 12 years older than Raghav and the respective ratio of Raghav's age 8 years hence and Shreya's present age is 17 : 7. If at present Pavan's age is thrice the age of Shreya. What will be Pavan's age 3 years hence? Correct Answer 24 yrs
GIVEN:
Pavan = 12 + Raghav
(Raghav + 8) : (Shreya) = 17 : 7
Pavan = 3 × shreya
EXPLANATION:
Let the ages of Pavan, Raghav, and Shreya be a, b, and c years respectively.
A.T.Q
a = 12 + b ----(1)
(b + 8)/c = 17/7 ----(2)
Putting b from (1) in (2),
(a - 4)/c = 17/7 ----(3)
Also, a = 3c
Put a in (3)
(3c - 4)/c = 17/7
21c - 28 = 17c
4c = 28
c = 7yrs
∴ a = 3 × 7 = 21 yrs
Required age = 21 + 3 = 24 yrs
∴ Pavan's age will be 24 years.
