Correct Answer: 37 : 32
Solution : Given: Ratio of Gyanendra and Arbind = 6 : 5 The sum of their ages = 55 years Let the age of Gyanendra be $6x$ and the age of Arbind be $5x$. According to the question, ⇒ $6x+5x=55$ ⇒ $11x=55$ ⇒ $x=5$ So, age of Gyanendra = 6 × 5 = 30 years Age of Arbind = 5 × 5 = 25 years After 7 years, ratio of their ages = (30 + 7) : (25 + 7) = 37 : 32 Hence, the correct answer is 37 : 32.
