Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 28 Given: The ratio of the present age of Riti and her father = 6 : 13. After 4 years the age of her father = double of Riti's age. Calculation: The ratio of the present age of Riti and her father is 6 : 13 Let, her present age is 6x and that of her father is 13x After 4 years her age will be (6x + 4) After 4 years her father’s age will be (13x + 4) Accordingly, (13x + 4) = 2 × (6x + 4) ⇒ 13x + 4 = 12x + 8 ⇒ 13x – 12x = 8 – 4 ⇒ x = 4 Riti’s present age is (6 × 4) = 24 years And her father’s present age is (13 × 4) = 52 At the time of her birth her father’s age was (52 – 24) = 28 years ∴ The age of her father was 28 years at the time of her birth. |
