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. |
