Solution:
Given:
The ratio of the present age of Mahesh and Ajay is 3 : 2 respectively.
Ratio of their age will after 8 years 11: 8.
Calculation:
Let The present age of Mahesh be 3x years.
And The present age of Ajay be 2x years.
According to the question;
The ratio of their age will 8 years from now will be 11: 8,
⇒ (3x + 8)/(2x + 8) = 11/8
⇒ 8 × (3x + 8) = (2x + 8) × 11
⇒ 24x + 64 = 22x + 88
⇒ 24x – 22x = 88 –64
⇒ 2x = 24
⇒ x = 12
So, The present age of Ajay = 2x years = 2 × 12 = 24 years
∴ Mahesh's Son age = 24/2 = 12 years.
