Question: At present, the ratio between the ages of Arun and Deepak is 4 : 3. After 6 years, Arun’s age will be 26 years. What is the age of Deepak at present ?

[A].

12 years

[B].

15 years

[C].

19 and half

[D].

21 years

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the present ages of Arun and Deepak be 4x years and 3x years respectively. Then,

4x + 6 = 26       4x = 20

x = 5.

Deepak’s age = 3x = 15 years.
