    Information Given in the Question:
    Present age ratio of A : B = 4 : 3
    3 years ago, their age ratio = 7 : 5
    Find A's age 4 years from now
    Detailed Explanation:
    Let present ages be:
    A = 4x
    B = 3x
    Three years ago:
    A's age = 4x - 3
    B's age = 3x - 3
    According to the question:
    4x33x3=75\frac{4x - 3}{3x - 3} = \frac{7}{5}​​
    5(4x - 3) = 7(3x - 3)
    20x – 15 = 21x - 21
    21x - 20x = 21 – 15
    x = 6
    So, A's present age = 4x = 24
    A's age after 4 years = 24 + 4 = 28 years
