Question
The ratio of the ages of Swati and Varun is 2 : 5, After 8 years, their ages will be in the ratio of 1 : 2. The difference in their present ages (in years) is?
Answer: Option D
 - Let Swati’s age = 2X and Varun’s age = 5X
2X + 8 = 1 2 (2X + 8) = 5X + 8 5X + 8 2
X = 8
Swati's age = 16 years
and Varun's age = 40 years
Difference of their ages = 24 years.
