Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Anand's present age in years?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the present ages of Sameer and Anand be 5x years and 4x years respectively.
| Then, | 5x + 3 | = | 11 |
| 4x + 3 | 9 |
9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3)
45x + 27 = 44x + 33
45x - 44x = 33 - 27
x = 6.
Anand's present age = 4x = 24 years.

It can also be solved using formula : bt(c - d)/ (ad - bc).
Where a = 5, b = 4, c = 11 and d = 9.
t = 3.
4* 3(11 - 9)/(5*9 - 4*11)= 12* 2/ 45- 44.
= 24/1= 24. So the answer is 24.

@All.
Please tell me that how possible the age ration will change on years? if both are in 5/4 ratio means after three years they should be in 5/4 only, how possible to become 11/9.

Four years back Sham's age was 3/4th of Ram's age that time. Four years from now, Sham's age would be 5/6th of Ram's age that time. What is Sham's age today?

According to me, it is X=6.
Why multiply by 4(5:4)?
When the current ratio leads to multiplying by 9 (11:9), where they have asked to find the present age of Anand after 3years.

@Srinath.
Let present ages of Ganguly and Sachin be x & y respectively.
Product of extremes = Product of means.
6(y-1)=7(x-1) &.
7(y+4)=8(x+4).
x= 31 and y= 36.

Here, the present ratio is 5: 4, 5x:4x then after 3years means 5x+3/4x+3equalto 11/9 if we cross multiply this we got X value is 6 then substitute in 4x then 4*6 then 24.

Three years hence ======> three years from present age.
The dictionary meaning for the word "hence" is "FROM NOW".
I think this will be useful in calculations.
