The ratio of Arun and Varun age is 11:9. After 5 years the difference ...
Let present age of ARUN & VARUN be 11x and 9x respectively.
5 year later,
ARUN's age = 11x + 5
VARUN's age = 9x + 5
A/Q, (11x + 5 )- (9x + 5) = 2
11x + 5 - 9x - 5 = 2
=> x = 1
Present age of ARUN = 11
Present age of VARUN = 9
so,ARUN is two year elder than VARUN .
The ratio of Arun and Varun age is 11:9. After 5 years the difference ...
Given: Ratio of Arun and Varun age is 11:9.
Let the present age of Arun and Varun be 11x and 9x respectively.
After 5 years, their age will be (11x+5) and (9x+5) respectively.
It is given that the difference between their age after 5 years is 2.
So, (11x+5) - (9x+5) = 2
Simplifying the above equation, we get
2x = 2
x = 1
Hence, present age of Arun = 11x = 11 years and present age of Varun = 9x = 9 years.
Now, Arun is how many years elder than Varun?
Arun is elder than Varun by (11-9) = 2 years.
Therefore, the correct option is (B) 2 Years.
