The ratio of the present ages of Ram and Sham is 7 : 11. Six years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 2 : 3. What is the difference between the present ages?1. 422. 243. 664. 325. 52

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.
