Jaya’s present age is six years more than twice her age 18 years ago. Also, the ratio of Sushma’s present age to Jaya’s present age is 5 : 6. What will be Sushma’s age after 4 years?
Jaya’s present age is six years more than twice her age 18 years ago. Also, the ratio of Sushma’s present age to Jaya’s present age is 5 : 6. What will be Sushma’s age after 4 years? Correct Answer 29 years
Given:
Sushma’s present age : Jaya’s present age = 5 : 6
Calculation:
Let the present age of Jaya and Sushma be 6x and 5x respectively
According to the question,
6x = 2(6x – 18) + 6
⇒ 6x = 12x – 36 + 6
⇒ 6x = 30
⇒ x = 5
So present age of Sushma = 5x = 25 years
∴ Age of Sushma after 4 years = 25 + 4 = 29 years
