Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kunal and Sagar was 6 : 5. Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11 : 10. What is Sagar's age at present?

  • A.16 years
  • B.18 years 
  • C.20 years
  • D.Cannot be determined
  • E.None of these

Answer: A

Let the ages of Kunal and Sagar 6 years ago be 6x and 5x years respectively.

then,\(\frac{ (6x + 6) + 4 }{(5x + 6) + 4}= \frac{11}{10}\)

\(\Rightarrow 10(6x + 10) = 11(5x + 10)\)

\(\Rightarrow 5x = 10\)

\(\Rightarrow x = 2\)

\(\therefore\)  Sagar's present age \(= (5x + 6) = 16\) years.
