The ages of A and B are in the ratio 6 : 5 and the sum of their ages is 44 years. What will be the ratio of their ages after 8 years ?

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{A's age = }}\left( {44 \times \frac{6}{{11}}} \right){\text{years}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = 24 years}} \cr & {\text{And B's age = }}\left( {44 - 24} \right){\text{years}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = 20 years}} \cr} $$
Ratio of their ages after 8 years
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{ = }}\frac{{\left( {24 + 8} \right)}}{{\left( {20 + 8} \right)}} \cr & = \frac{{32}}{{28}} \cr & = \frac{8}{7} \cr & = 8:7 \cr} $$
