  1. Question 1

    Q1. If the ratio of the ages of two persons is 3:4 and after 10 years it becomes 4:5, what are their current ages?

    • A) 15, 20
    • B) 20, 25
    • C) 30, 40
    • D) 25, 30

    Answer: 15, 20

    Explanation: Let's denote their ages as 3x and 4x. After 10 years, their ages will be 3x + 10 and 4x + 10. So, (3x + 10) / (4x + 10) = 4 / 5. Cross-multiplying, 5(3x + 10) = 4(4x + 10).
