Question:
When Rajesh's age was same as the present age of Garima, the ratio of their ages was 3 : 2. When Garima's age becomes the same as the present age of Rajesh, the ratio of the ages of Rajesh and Garima will become
When Rajesh's age was same as the present age of Garima, the ratio of their ages was 3 : 2. When Garima's age becomes the same as the present age of Rajesh, the ratio of the ages of Rajesh and Garima will become
Options
Answer: 5 : 4
Explanation:
Let the difference in their ages = R − G At that time, Rajesh’s age = G, Garima’s age = G − (R − G) = 2G − R Given ratio: Rajesh : Garima = 3 : 2 ⇒ G : (2G − R) = 3 : 2 Solve for R in terms of G: 2G : (2 × (2G − R))? Wait step carefully: Ratio equation: G / (2G − R) = 3 / 2 ⇒ 2 × G = 3 × (2G − R) ⇒ 2G = 6G − 3R ⇒ 3R = 6G − 2G = 4G ⇒ R = 4G / 3 Future ratio when Garima reaches R (present age of Rajesh): Time passed = R − G = 4G/3 − G = G/3 Future ages: Rajesh = R + G/3 = 4G/3 + G/3 = 5G/3 Garima = G + G/3 = 4G/3 Ratio = Rajesh : Garima = (5G/3) : (4G/3) = 5 : 4
