One year ago, the ratio of Gaurav’s and Sachin’s age was 6: 7 respectively. Four years hence, this ratio would become 7: 8. How old is Sachin ? |

Answer» Let Gaurav's and Sachin's ages one year ago be 6x and 7x years respectively. Then, Gaurav's age 4 years hence = (6x + 1) + 4 = (6x + 5) years. Sachin's age 4 years hence = (7x + 1) + 4 = (7x + 5) years. 6x+5/7x+5 = 7/8 8(6x+5) = 7 (7x + 5) 48x + 40 = 49x + 35 x = 5. Hence, Sachin's present age = (7x + 1) = 36 years. |
