At present, Anil is 1.5 times of Purvi's age. 8 yr hence, the respective ratio between Anil and Purvi's ages will be 25 : 18 What is purvi's present age?

1. 50 yr
2. 28 yr
3. 42 yr
4. 36 yr

Correct Option: B

Let age of Purvi = N yr
Then, age of Anil = 1.5N yr
According to the question,
(1.5N + 8)/(N + 8) = 25/18
⇒ 27N + 144 = 25N + 200
∴ N = 56/2 = 28
Hence, present age of Purvi = 28 yr
