Q.

Sushil was thrice as old as Snehal 6 years back. Sushil will be times as old as Snehal 6 years hence. How old is Snehal today ?                          [Bank P.O 1992]
A. 18 years B. 12 Years
C. 24 Years D. 15 Years

Answer: Option B
Explaination:

 


Let Snehals age 6 years back = x.


Then, Sushils age 6 years back = 3x.

(5/3) * (X + 6 + 6) = (3X + 6 + 6) hence 5(x+ 12) = 3(3x+ 12) so x=6.

Snehal today = (x+ 6) years = 12 years.
