At present Meena is eight times her daughter's age. 8 yr from now, the ratio of the ages of Meena and her daughter will be 10 : 3, respectively. What is Meena's present age?
A) 32 yr
B) 40 yr
C) 36 yr
D) Cannot be determined
Correct answer:
A) 32 yr
Description for Correct answer:
Let age of daughter = x yr
Age of Meena = 8x yr
According to the question,
\( \large\frac{8x + 8}{x + 8} = \frac{10}{3}\)
24x + 24 = 10x + 80
14x = 56
x = 4
Hence, Meena's present age = 4 x 8 = 32 yr
