Present ages of Raj and Anu are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Anu's present age in years?

A.24 B.27
C.40 D.Cannot be determined
E.None of these

• A. 24
  If present age of Raj=5x and Anu =4x
  After 3 years ratio becomes,(5x+3)/(4x+3)=11/9 or 45x+27=44x+33,x=6
  So present age of Anu=4*6= 24 years

• let present age of raj be 5x and anu be 4x.
  then after 3 year age of raj is 5x+3 and age of anu is 4x+3
  and the ratio of their ages will become 11:9
  =>(5x+3)/(4x+3)=11/9
  on solving we get x=6
  =>age of anu =4x=4*6=24

• Let the present age of raj and anu are 5x and 4x respectively.
  3years hence their ages become (5x+3) and (4x+3) respectively..
  So that (5x+3)/(4x+3)=11/9.
  After solving we get x=6.
  So anu's present age is 4*6=24.
  Ans:A.24.
