SSC CGL - 3rd March 2020 Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q92

The ratio of the present ages of Asha and Lata is 5 : 6. If the difference between their ages is 6 years, then what will be Lata's age after 5 years?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 41

Understanding Application

Let Asha's age be 5x and Lata's age be 6x.

Given: 6x - 5x = 6

⇒ x = 6

Thus, Lata's current age = 6x = 6 x 6 = 36

Hence, Lata's age after 5 years = 36 + 5 = 41 years.
