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

A. 12 years B. 15 years
C. 19 and half D. 21 years

• lets make this into again a simple thing :D ..lets rock and roll
  
  now at present instead of ages ratios are given..so we take 4x and 3x
  
  and after 6 years arun age is 26 ... so [present age + 6 = 26](according to question)
  
  and so present age of arun = 4x which gives
  4x + 6 = 26
  
  solving x we get 5
  
  question is for deepak age and deepak's present age is 3x and substituting x in 3x = 3(5) = 15
  
  so answer is 15 years option B.15 for sure!! whenever u feel u did not understand anything just write down the given data...and try to get the answer...thats the secret of maths :D

• Ans. B. 15 years
  
  Solution:
  As the ratio between the present ages of Arun and Deepak is 4 : 3, So
  Deepak's Present age = (3/4)of Arun's Present age
  Arun's Present age = (4/3) of Deepak's Present age
  After 6 years, Arun's age will be 26 years, so
  Arun's Present age = 26 - 6 = 20 years
  Thus Deepak's Present age = (3/4)*20 = 15 years
  Hence Ans. is B. 15 years

• arun's age now= 26 yrs
  arun's age before 6 yrs = 20 yrs
  age of Deeoak now = 20*3/4 + 6 = 15+6= 21 yrs
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
• arun's age now= 26 yrs
  arun's age before 6 yrs = 20 yrs
  age of Deeoak now = 20*3/4 = 15 yrs

• At present the age of Arun is 26 then before 6 year the age of Arun is 20 years.
  Let the age of Deepak is x. then 20:x= 4:3 ==> x=15
  after 6 years the age of Deepak is 21 years.

• After 6 years, Arun's Age will be 26. Therefore, present age of Arun is 20 Years. Ratio of arun's & deepak's age is 4:3. Hence deepak's present age is 15 years.

• Let A is the present age of Arun and D is the present age of Deepak.
  Given,After 6 years, Arun's age will be 26 years.
  then A+6=26
  A=20 years. Arun's present age is 20 years.
  The ratio of the present age of Arun is 4x=20
  x=5,
  then the present age of Deepak is 3x=3(5)=15 years
