Question : The present ages of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 5. If A's present age is 33 years, then what will be B's age (in years) after 5 years?
Option 1: 65
Option 2: 60
Option 3: 50
Option 4: 55
Correct Answer: 60
Solution :
Given,
The ratio of present ages of A and B = 3 : 5
The present age of A = 33 years
Let the present age of A be $3x$ and B be $5x$.
So, $3x = 33$
$\therefore x= 11$
⇒ Present age of B = $5x=5 × 11=55$ years
$\therefore$ Age of B after 5 years = 55 + 5 = 60 years
Hence, the correct answer is 60.
