The ratio of the present ages of Charvi and Vaishnavi is 4: 5. Yuvika is 2 years older than Charvi but 5 years younger than Vaishnavi. Find the present age of Vaishnavi.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 35 years.
Let the present age of Charvi = 4x and the present age of Vaishnavi = 5x
Yuvika is 2 years older than Charvi but 5 years younger than Vaishnavi.
Yuvika = 2 + 4x
Yuvika = 5x - 5
⇒ 4x + 2 = 5x - 5
⇒ 4x + 2 = 5x - 5 ⇒ x = 7
So, the present age of Vaishnavi = 5x = 35 years
