67 / 93

Q.

Ten years ago A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3 : 4, what will be the total of their present ages

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Let A's age 10 years ago = x years. Then, B's age 10 years ago = 2x years. (x + 10) / (2x+ l0) = 3/4 => x = 5. So, the total of their present ages =(x + 10 + 2x + 10) = (3x + 20) = 35 years.
