Question

The present age of Suresh is twice his daughter's. Six years hence the ratio between the age of Suresh and his daughter will be $23:13$. What is the present age of Suresh?

• A. $40$ years
• B. $36$ years
• C. $46$ years
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A $40$ years

Six years hence,
Age of suresh $=2x+6$
Ages of his daughter $=x+6$
$\frac{2x+6}{x+6}=\frac{23}{13}\therefore x=20years$.
Age of Suresh $=40years$.
