Ratio of present ages of A and B is 4 : 5 and the ratio of present ages of A and C is 8 : 9. If the difference between the ages of A and C is 3 years, then what will be the sum of the ages of A, B and C after 7 years?
Ratio of present ages of A and B is 4 : 5 and the ratio of present ages of A and C is 8 : 9. If the difference between the ages of A and C is 3 years, then what will be the sum of the ages of A, B and C after 7 years? Correct Answer 102
Given:
Ratio of A : B = 4 : 5 and A : C = 8 : 9,
Difference between the ages of A and C is 3 years.
Calculation:
ATQ,
A : B : C = 8 : 10 : 9
let the present ages of A, B and C be 8X,
10X and 9X respectively.
The difference b/w C - A = 3 years
9X - 8X = 3
X = 3
Then the sum of the ages of A, B and C
after 7 years:
(A + 7) + (B + 7) + (C + 7)
(A + B + C) + 21
⇒ (8X + 10X + 9X) + 21
⇒ 27X + 21
⇒ 27 × 3 + 21
⇒ 102 years
