Ques 6.

One year ago the ratio between A and B’s age was 4:3. One year hence the ratio of their ages will be 5:4. What is the sum of their present ages in years?

Solution :

 One year ago ratio = 4:3 ( ratio difference = 4-3=1)

One year hence ratio = 5:4 (Ratio difference = 5-4=1)

New ratios :

One year ago ratio = 4:3 *1 = 4:3

One year hence ratio = 5:4 *1 = 5:4

Difference in A ratio = 5-4 = 1

1 unit ------- 2 year

9 unit ------- 18 years 

Sum of their ages 1 year hence = 18

Present = 18-2 =16 years
