The ratio of the present ages of Naresh and Suparna is 7 : 3. Three years from now, the ratio of their ages will be 2 : 1. What is the current age of Naresh (in years)?
A14
B10.5
C21
D28
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 21
1. Let the ages be 7x and 3x.
2. After 3 years: (7x + 3)/(3x + 3) = 2/1, so 7x + 3 = 6x + 6.
3. Solving: x = 3.
4. Naresh's age = 7x = 21 years.
