=multiples od 4 are {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}
And multiples of 15 means multiples of 3 and 5
= {3, 6 , 9, 12, 15, 18, 5, 10, 15, 20}.

Q:

Mary is 12 years younger to Pinky. After 3 years, the ratio of their ages will be 5:8. If the present age of Sam is the sum of ages of Mary and Pinky, then what was the age of Sam 15 years back ?

A) 31 years B) 37 years
C) 46 years D) 29 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 31 years

Explanation:

Let the present age of Pinky be x years

 

Then the age of Mary is x - 12 years

 

After 3 years,

 

Ratio of  MaryPinky = x - 9x + 3 = 58

 

8x - 72 = 5x +15

 

=> 3x = 87

 

=> x = 29

 

=> Age of Pinky = 29 years

 

=> Age of Mary = 29 - 12 = 17 years

 

Present age of Sam = 29 + 17 = 46

 

Before 15 years Sam age = 46 - 15 = 31 years.
