At present, Anil is 1.5 times of Purvi's age. 8 yr hence, the respective ratio between Anil and Purvi's age is 25 : 18. What is Purvi's present age?
A) 50 yr
B) 28 yr
C) 42 yr
D) 36 yr
Correct answer:
B) 28 yr
Description for Correct answer:
Let age of Purvi = x yr
Then, age of Anil = 1.5x yr
According to the question,
\( \large\frac{1.5x + 8 }{x + 8} = \frac{25}{18} \)
27x + 144 = 25x + 200
X = \( \large\frac{56}{2} = 28 \)
Hence, present age of Purvi = 28 yr
