The ratio of the ages of Maala and Kala is 4 : 3. The total of their ages is 2.8 decades. The proportion of their ages after 0.8 decades will be [1 Decade = 10 years] 

  • A.4:3
  • B.12:11
  • C.7:4
  • D.6:5

Answer: D


Let, Maala’s age = \(4A\)  and  Kala's age = \(3A\)

Then, \(4A + 3A =28\)

\(A=4\)

Maala’s age = 16 years
and Kala’s age = 12 years

Proportion of their ages after 8 is = \((16 + 8) : (12 + 8)\)

\(=24:20\)

\(=6:5\)
