Ten years ago, the age of Divya was half of the age of Namrata. If the ratio of present ages of both is 3 : 4, the sum of their present ages is:
-
- 35 years
- 30 years
- 25 years
- 18 years
Correct Option: A
Let the present age of Divya and Namrata are 3x and 4x years respectively; then
According to question,
Ten years ago, Age of Divya = 3x - 10
Ten years ago, Age of Namrata = 4x - 10
Now According to question,
Ten years ago, the age of Divya was half of the age of Namrata
3x - 10 = (4x - 10)/2
⇒ 6x - 20 = 4x - 10
⇒ 2x =10
∴ x = 5
Hence, sum of their ages = 3x + 4x = 7x =7 x 5 = 35 years
