What is the present age of Surya?
I. Five years ago, Surya age was double that of his son’s age that time.
II. Present age of Surya and his son are in the ratio of 11:6.
III. Five year hence, the respective ratio of Surya’s age and his son’s age become 12:7
Only I and II
Incorrect AnswerOnly II and III
Incorrect AnswerAny two of three
Correct AnswerAll are needed
Incorrect AnswerAll the given statements are Insufficient
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Three equations and each has two variables.
So from any two we can find.
According to first sentence, (S -5) = 2*(X – 5)
[S is the age of Surya and x is the age of his son] According to second sentence, S:X = 11:6
According to third sentence,
(S + 5)/(X +5) = 12/7
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
