1. One year abo the ratio of Arman and Ananda's age was 4:5 . One year hence the ratio of their ages will be 5:6 . What is the age of Ananda at present ?
- A. 9 year
- B. 9 year
- C. 9 year
- D. 9 year
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Let Arman's and Ananda's ages one year ago be 4x and 5x, respectively. Then their ages 1 year hence are (4x+1) years and (5x+1) years.
⇒ (4x+1/5x+1) = 5/6
or x=1
Hence, Ananda's present age =5x+1=6 years
