    Question

    The ages of A and B are in the ratio 4 : 9. If the difference of their ages is 10 years, compare their ages after 4 years from now.

    A.

    12 : 19

    B.

    25 : 29

    C.

    6 : 11

    D.

    13 : 23

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Ages of A and B are in the ratio 4 : 9 
    Difference of their ages = 10 years
    Solution:
    Let the age of A and B are 4x and 9x
    Difference between their ages = 10 
    9x- 4x = 10 
    5x = 10 
    x = 2
    So, Present age of A and B are 4×2=8\times 2 = 8  years and 9×2=189 \times 2= 18  years
    After 4 years, their ages will be 
    A's age = 8 + 4 = 12 years 
    B's age = 18 + 4 = 22 years 
    Ratio = 12: 22 = 6: 11
