The ratio of present age of two brothers is 1 : 2 and 5 years back the ratio was 1 : 3. What
will be the ratio of their age after 5 years ?
-
- 1 : 4
- 2 : 3
- 3 : 5
- 5 : 6
Correct Option: C
Let the present age of two brothers be x and 2x years.
| Now, | = | ||
| 2x − 5 | 3 |
⇒ 3x – 15 = 2x – 5
⇒ 3x – 2x = 15 – 5
⇒ x= 10
∴ Their present age
= 10 and 20 years
After 5 years their required ratio
| = | = | = 3 : 5 | ||
| 25 | 5 |
