Question

When Rajesh's age was same as the present age of Garima, the ratio of their ages was 3 : 2. When Garima's age becomes the same as the present age of Rajesh, the ratio of the ages of Rajesh and Garima will become

• A. 5 : 4
• B. 2 : 1
• C. 4 : 3
• D. 3 : 2

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

5 : 4

Answer 2

Let's denote Rajesh's present age as R and Garima's present age as G.

Given, when Rajesh's age was G, the ratio of their ages was 3:2. So, we can write:

$\frac{R - G}{G} = \frac{3}{2}$

We need to find the ratio when Garima's age becomes R. So, the ratio will be: $\frac{R}{G + (R - G)} = \frac{R}{R} = 1$

Therefore, the ratio of their ages will be 1:5.
