The ratio of Amu, Manu and Tanu’s present age is 7 ∶ 2 ∶ 3. Manu is 24 years old. What is the ratio of Amu and Tanu’s age to Manu’s age after 2 years?
The ratio of Amu, Manu and Tanu’s present age is 7 ∶ 2 ∶ 3. Manu is 24 years old. What is the ratio of Amu and Tanu’s age to Manu’s age after 2 years? Correct Answer 62 ∶ 13
Given:
The ratio of Amu, Manu and Tanu’s present age = 7 ∶ 2 ∶ 3
Manu's present age = 24 years
Calculation:
Let assume that Amu’s present age = 7x
Manu’s present age = 2x
Tanu’s present age = 3x
According to question
Manu’s present age = 24 years
Now,
⇒ 24 years = 2x
⇒ 12 years = x
⇒ Amu’s present age = 7x = 7 × 12 = 84 years
⇒ Tanu’s present age = 3x = 3 × 12 = 36 years
After 2 years
⇒ Amu’s age = 84 + 2 = 86 years
⇒ Manu’s age = 24 + 2 = 26 years
⇒ Tanu’s age = 36 + 2 =38 years
Ratio
(After 2 years Amu’s age + After 2 years Tanu’s age) ∶ (After 2 years Manu’s age)
(86 + 38) ∶ (26)
⇒ 124 ∶ 26
⇒ 62 ∶ 13
∴ The ratio of Amu and Tanu’s age to Manu’s age after 2 years is 62 ∶ 13
The correct option is 4 i.e. 62 ∶ 13
