Army Cadet College (ACC) Mock Test - 6 - Army Cadet College (ACC) MCQ

Given:

The ratio of the present age of Annu and Raj = 4 : 5

Then after 8 years ratio of their age = 5 : 6

Calculation:

Let be assume the present age of Annu and Raj is 4x and 5x respectively

⇒ (4x + 8)/(5x + 8) = 5/6

⇒ 24x + 48 = 25x + 40

⇒ x = 8

⇒ The age of Annu = 4x = 4 × 8 = 32

⇒ The age of Raj = 5x = 5 × 8 = 40

∴ The required result will be 32 years, and 40 years respectively.

Checking → statement I:

References:

Point A is 3km north of library.
