2. Sandeep’s age after six years will be three-seventh of his father’s age. Ten years ago the ratio of their ages was 1 : 5. What is Sandeep’s father’s age at present?
1. 30 years
2. 40 years
3. 50 years
4. 60 years
[expand title=”Answer & Explanation”]
Answer:- 3
Explanation :-
Let Sandeep’s age 10 years ago = x years & His father’s age 10 years ago = 5x years
After 6 years, Sandeep’s age = (x + 10 +6) = x +16 & His father’s age = 5x+ 10 +6 = 5x + 16
According to Question , x + 16 = (3/7)(5x + 16)
7x + 112 = 15x + 48 => x = 8
His father’s present age = 5x + 10 = (5 × 8) +10 = 50 years
