Question

At present, the ratio between the ages of Arvind and Deep is 4: 3. After 6 years, Arvind's age will be 26 years. What is the present age of Deep?

• A. 12 years
• B. 15 years
• C. 19 ½ years
• D. 21 years
• E. 19 years

Answer 1

The correct option is B

15 years

Let the present ages of Arvind and Deep be 4x years and 3x years respectively.

Then,

4x + 6 = 26 $\iff$ 4x 20 $\iff$ x = 5

$\therefore$ Deep's age = 3x = 15 years
