    Question

    The ratio of the age of Naresh to that of Suresh is 6 : 5 and the sum of their ages is 44 years. The ratio of their respective ages after 15 years will be:

    A.

    39 : 35

    B.

    30 : 35

    C.

    34 : 39

    D.

    39 : 34

    Correct option is A

    Given: -

    Age ratio (Naresh : Suresh) = 6:5 -

    Sum of ages = 44 years

    Formula Used:

    Age ratio = Sum of individual ages after a certain time.

    Solution:

    Let Naresh's age = 6x and Suresh's age = 5x.

    According to the given sum: 6x + 5x = 44

    11x = 44

    -> x = 4

    Naresh's current age = 6 × 4 = 24 years

    Suresh's current age = 5 × 4 = 20 years

    After 15 years, Naresh's age = 24 + 15 = 39 years

    After 15 years, Suresh's age = 20 + 15 = 35 years

    The ratio of their ages after 15 years = 39:35.
