Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 24 Given: The ratio of present ages of Ram and Sham is 7 : 11 Ratio of their ages six years hence is 2 : 3 Calculation: Let the present age of Ram be 7x Let the present age of Sham be 11x According to the question (7x + 6)/(11x + 6) = 2/3 ⇒ 21x + 18 = 22x + 12 ⇒ 18 – 12 = 22x – 21x ⇒ x = 6 ⇒ Ram’s present age = 7 × 6 = 42 ⇒ Sham’s present age = 11 × 6 = 66 Difference between their present age = 66 – 42 = 24 ∴ The difference between their present age is 24. |
