Seema is younger than Rima by 8 years. If 4 years back their age were in the ratio 1 : 2, then find the age of seema after 6 years from now.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 18.
Let the age of Reema and Seema be R and S
Difference between Reema and seema age = R - S = 8 ---- (1)
Four years back, the ratio of their age
⇒ (S - 4)/(R - 4) = 1/2
⇒ 2(S - 4) = (R - 4)
⇒ 2S - 8 = R - 4
⇒ 2S - R = 4 ---- (2)
Solving equation (1) and (2), we get
⇒ S = 12 years
Now,
Seema's age after 6 years = 12 + 6 = 18 years
