The ratio of the present ages of Neha and Nikita is 7 : 6. The sum of their ages is 52 years. What will be the respective ratio of their ages 12 years later?1. 10 : 92. 10 : 73. 10 : 114. 12 : 115. None of the above

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 10 : 9

Calculations:

Let the present age of Neha be 7x.

Let the present age of Nikita be 6x.

∴ According to the question:

⇒ 7x + 6x = 52

⇒ 13x = 52

⇒ x = 4

∴ Neha’s present age = 7 × 4

⇒ 28 years

∴ Neha’s present age = 6 × 4

⇒ 24 years

∴ required ratio after 12 years :

⇒ 28 + 12 : 24 + 12

⇒ 40 : 36

⇒ 10 : 9

The respective ratio of their ages 12 years later is 10 : 9.
