At present, Anil is 1.5 times of Purvi's age. 8 yr hence, the respective ratio between Anil and Purvi's ages will be 25: 18. What is Purvi's present age?                                                                  [IBPS (Clerk) 2011]

A) 50 yr

B) 28 yr

C) 42 yr

D) 36 yr

E) None of these

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

Let age of Purvi be x yr.

Then, age of Anil = 1.5x yr

According to the question,

\[\frac{1.5x+8}{x+8}=\frac{25}{18}\]

\[\Rightarrow \] \[27x+144=25x+200\]

\[\therefore \] \[x=\frac{56}{2}=28\]

Hence, present age of Purvi is 28 yr.
