Q.

Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Anand's present age in years ?                         
A. 24 B. 27
C. 40 D. Can not be determined
E. None of these

Answer: Option A
Explaination:

 


Let the present ages of Sameer and Anand be 5x years and 4x years respectively.


Then, (5x + 3)/(4x+3) = (11/9)

9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3)

45x + 27 = 44x + 33

45x - 44x = 33 - 27

x = 6

Anand's present age = 4x = 24 years.
