Q:

The ratio of K’s and M’s ages is 4: 5. If the difference between the present age of M and the age of K, 5 years hence is 3 years, then what is the difference and total of present ages of K and M?

A) 8, 72 yrs B) 16, 65 yrs
C) 12, 84 yrs D) 10, 60 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8, 72 yrs

Explanation:

Let the present ages be K,M

Given K/M = 4/5

5K - 4M = 0 ......(1)

Also given that,

M - (K + 5) = 3

M - K = 8 .........(2)


Then, by solving (1) & (2)

M = 40 yrs and K = 32 yrs

Hence, Total of ages = 40 + 32 = 72 yrs

Difference of ages = 40 - 32 = 8 yrs.
