Ram got married 8 years ago. His present age is 6/5 times his age at the time of marriage. Ram's sister was 10 years younger to him at the time of his marriage. What is the present age of Ram's sister?
-
- 40 years
- 38 years
- 36 years
- 32 years
Correct Option: B
Let the present age of Ram be x years; then
8 years ago Ram age = x - 8
According to question,
His present age is 6/5 times his age at the time of marriage.
x =( x - 8) 6/5
⇒ 5x = 6x - 48
∴ x = 48
Age of Ram at the time of his marriage = 48 - 8 = 40
According to question,
Ram's sister was 10 years younger to him at the time of his marriage
Hence, Ram's sister age at the time of his marriage = 40 - 10 = 30 years.
So Present age of Ram's Sister = 30 + 8 = 38
