Question

Three years hence, the ratio of Karthi and Janvi will be 7:5. The age of Karthi two years hence is equal to two times of age of Janvi, 5 years ago. What is the present age of Karthi?

• A. 15 years
• B. 25 years
• C. 32 years
• D. 36 years

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 32 years

Three years hence, the ratio of Karthi and Janvi = 7:5(7x, 5x) Present age of Karthi and Janvi = 7x – 3, 5x - 3 7x – 1 = 2*(5x – 8) 7x – 1 = 10x – 16 3x = 15 x = 5 The present age of Karthi = 7x – 3 = 35 – 3 = 32 years
