Question
The ratio of the ages of Meena and Meera is 4 : 3. The sum of their ages is 28 years. The ratio of their ages after 8 years will be:
Answer: Option B
 - Let meena’s age = 4X and Meena’s age = 3X
Then, 4X + 3X = 28
X = 4
Meena's age = 16 years
and Meera's age = 12 years
Ratio of their ages after 8 years = (16 + 8) : (12 + 8) = 24 : 20 = 6 : 5
