Correct Answer: 71
Solution :
Given:
The present age of Ankur's brother is 32 years.
⇒ His age 6 years later = 38 years
But, after 6 years the ratio of ages of Ankur's sister and brother will be 3:2.
After 6 years, Ankur's sister's age = 3A, Ankur's brother's age = 2A
⇒ 2A = 38
⇒ A = 38 ÷ 2 = 19
⇒ Ankur's sister's age 6 years later = 57 years
⇒ Ankur's sister's present age→57 – 6 = 51 years
But, the present ages of Ankur and his sister are in the ratio of 4:3.
Ankur's sister's present age = 3A, Ankur's present age = 4A
⇒ Ankur's sister's present age→57 – 6 = 51 years
⇒ 3A = 51
⇒ A = 51 ÷ 3 = 17
⇒ Ankur's present age = 4 × 17 = 68 years
Ankur's age after 3 years will be 71 years. Hence, the first option is correct.
